Unconscious Bias Workshop

Description

Description

Consider this - We all have Unconscious (or implicit) Bias, i.e., the associations we hold, outside our conscious awareness and control. Unconscious bias is triggered by our brain automatically making quick judgments and assessments. Bias can both help and hinder; becoming more conscious of your own biases helps to minimise the negative consequences.

This interactive programme will use the topic of equity, diversity, and inclusion to illustrate the problem of unconscious bias and the practical solutions to overcome it. The programme will provide the opportunity for self-reflection, open discussion, and training on some of the softer skills to maximise objectivity in the workplace.

Available as private Face to Face and virtual sessions (max 12 delegates) - £1,745  Plus VAT
