Learn how Unconscious (implicit) Bias affects our behaviour and our systems, and what we can all do to help mitigate our personal biases.

The aim of this course is to:
1) Introduce delegates to the underpinning principles of unconscious bias
2) Outline the evidence for the impact of unconscious on our key people processes at work (e.g. recruiting, staff development, work allocation, performance ,management)
3) Give delegates research led ideas to help mitigate their bias at work.

Objectives of the course include exploring the following:
-How and why our unconscious biases (UB) develop
-How our neurology creates and maintains our UB
-The types of bias affecting us at work
-The work conditions which can trigger biases
-How UB impacts key people processes such as recruiting, work allocation, performance management, promotion and coaching/sponsorship
-How UB extends into differences such as Age, Bodyweight, Disability, Ethnicity, Gender, Height and Marital Status
-What we can do to help mitigate our personal biases at work

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-Understand the underlying principle of unconscious bias
-Understand the way unconscious bias impacts our decision making
-Recognise the types of and triggers for Unconscious Bias
-Recognise the methods we can employ to mitigate our personal biases skills
