Managing Unconscious Bias
This course explores unconscious bias. Over the modules you will explore different types of bias and how they might impact on your organisation and the delivery of your activities and programmes.
Spot hidden biases and take practical steps to ensure fairer, more inclusive decisions across your work.
This course helps individuals and organisations understand how unconscious bias influences everyday interactions, management practices, and decision-making. You’ll learn to recognise bias in yourself and others, assess its impact on professional practice, and apply strategies that reduce its effects in the workplace.
All of us make judgements and assumptions every day – often without realising it. While these shortcuts can be helpful in some situations, they can also negatively affect how we respond to people and circumstances.
Managing Unconscious Bias explores the different types of bias, the ways they show up in organisational life, and what you can do to counteract them. With practical examples, the course equips you to recognise patterns, broaden your perspective, and make more objective, inclusive decisions.
