How to Identify & Address Unconscious Bias in the Workplace

Introduction

We all have our own stereotypes and prejudices, and they might creep into the decisions that we make. This is commonly referred to as our unconscious bias.

In this webinar we will look at the definition of unconscious bias, and we will consider how it occurs. We will look at different examples of unconscious bias and think about the way they affect the decisions we make and the conclusions that we reach. We will look specifically at the impact of unconscious bias on the development of prejudice, the behaviour of groups and the way that it impacts on effective diversity.

This webinar is suitable for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the way that decision making, and attitudes can be affected by the attitudes and experiences that we have developed over time.
