Unconscious bias training helps participants communicate with their underlying preferences — these preferences bypass our standard rational and logical thinking. In the workplace, you might have unconscious bias between the sales team and the R&D team. The sales team might be convinced that the R&D team gets in the way of sales, even though they have no evidence. The problem with unconscious bias is that it causes unevenness and instability in relationships before they start.
The irony is people think they don’t possess unconscious bias. And that’s because they are not conscious of it (otherwise it would not be unconscious).
In this breakthrough unconscious bias bespoke course, your team will learn the dynamics involved in unconscious bias and how to be more aware of others’ unconscious bias. Drawing from recent research and theory, this innovative program will explore how greater awareness of unconscious bias can improve decision-making for teams and organisations.
The inhouse unconscious bias workshop gives participants a better understanding of team psychology and conditioning. The inhouse course exercises are mostly self reflections which can be quiet “aha” moments for individuals in the team. Learning doesn’t always have to be loud as this course demonstrates.
Here’s an example; when Stephen was 10 yrs old, he was attacked by a German Shepherd. His children are now also afraid of German Shepherds, even though he has never spoken to them of the attack. They may have picked up on his unspoken messages. Perhaps he pulled them a bit closer when a German Shepherd was walking in their direction. Maybe he tenses when he sees German Shepherds. Unconscious bias can be powerful.
For maximum effectiveness, it is recommended that this course be conducted as an in-house program.
