Unconscious Bias

 Course Length 35 Minutes 

Have you ever jumped to the wrong conclusion or misjudged someone you just met?

We all do it, with just about everyone we come across. We make snap judgements about people based on the very little information we know about them. And mostly, we do it without even knowing.

Our unconscious biases can have a big influence on how we feel about people and affect the decisions we make every day. Because these biases are often rooted in inaccurate or incomplete information, they can lead to unfair assumptions and poor decision-making, without us realising.

This course aims to increase your awareness of unconscious bias and give practical tips on how you can reduce the effect it has on your decisions, attitudes and behaviour.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

• Describe what unconscious bias is and why it occurs
• Recognise different types of unconscious bias
• Recognise the impact unconscious bias can have in the workplace
• Use strategies to help reduce biased thinking affecting your actions at work
