Unconscious Bias - A Virtual Learning Programme
This virtual programme is designed for people at every level of an organisation. It aims to build an understanding of our conscious and unconscious perceptions, decisions and judgement making.
Participants in the programme will learn how to manage their own biases and recognise bias in the behaviours and language of others.
Unconscious biases, which are also known as implicit biases, affect the way we interact with other people or groups as we unconsciously attribute attitudes or stereotypes to them.
This programme aims to bring our unconscious biases into our consciousness and in doing so influence the way we interact and engage with the people around us.
