Bias is a tendency to believe that some people and ideas are better than others and it wreaks havoc in the workplace. Even those with the best intentions behave in biased ways, and simply have no idea they are doing it. It results in a less than diverse representation in the boardroom, limits job opportunities and ultimately prevents organisations from the true growth and cultural benefits of a diverse workforce. While it’s easy to identify and limit bias when it’s overt, that’s not always the case—in fact, bias can often be completely unconscious.
This course examines unconscious and conscious bias and the role it plays in the workplace and will assist individuals and the organisation to effectively build a diverse and inclusive business.
This course is suitable for all staff, including managers and team leaders.
