Unconscious Bias

Overview 

Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that individuals form outside their own conscious awareness. Bias is an ordinary, human tendency, but can have far-reaching consequences if certain individuals and groups are disadvantaged. This professional development will explore the topic in more depth to increase personal and company-wide awareness.  Learners will explore practical, realistic approaches for reducing unconscious bias in the modern workplace. 

Learning objectives
