This course provides a comprehensive exploration of unconscious biases, addressing prevalent types such as gender bias, racial bias, age bias, and general biases. Participants delve into the nuances of how these biases manifest in everyday interactions, decision-making processes, and team dynamics within the workplace. Understanding the subtle ways biases can influence behaviour and judgments is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and equitable environment.
Participants will acquire practical strategies to identify and mitigate unconscious biases. This includes techniques for promoting fairness in hiring practices, conducting performance evaluations, and facilitating team collaborations. By enhancing their awareness and sensitivity to these biases, individuals can contribute to creating a workplace culture where diversity is respected, and all team members feel valued and empowered.

This course offers two options:
- a full-day (8 hours)
