What is Bias?

Bias is when we favor or dislike something or someone over another. It's a tendency to think a certain way about a group or person. Consider including corporate unconscious bias training to build awareness around different types of biases.

Is Bias a Bad Word?

Well, not really! Bias is what makes us choose and we all have biases. Sometimes, our biases make us act unfairly and we end up favoring a few over the rest. This is when bias becomes problematic and becomes a barrier to creating Inclusive environments.

What is Unconscious Bias?

Simply put, it's an automatically activated brain process that affects how people think. The conditioned brain acts out of patterns, prejudices, and attitudes.

Individual Strategies to Address
Unconscious Bias Training in the Workplace

Be Self-Aware and Aware of Others

Promote self-awareness by using tools like the Implicit Association Test to recognize biases. Understanding bias as a normal aspect of cognition fosters informed and open self-reflection (Burgess, 2007).

Manage Your Behavior

Understand how biases affect your actions. Learn strategies to adjust your behavior through discussions and training sessions, like unconscious bias training. This helps you become aware of yourself better and treat others fairly.

Build Cultural Awareness

Encourage discussions, especially with those from diverse backgrounds. Sharing biases in a safe space fosters understanding. This open dialogue builds cultural awareness, creating a more inclusive environment.

Mindfulness and Presence

Embrace mindfulness in addressing biases. Being present in discussions and self-reflection enhances awareness. Incorporate mindfulness techniques learned in training sessions to cultivate a more mindful and inclusive workplace.

Exposure to Diversity

Facilitate exposure to diverse perspectives by expanding your circle to diverse people. Evidence supports that unconscious bias training providers reduce bias impact. Actively engaging with diverse groups fosters a richer understanding and appreciation of differences (Carnes, 2012).

Identifying Different
Unconscious Bias Workshops

Our minds pick up patterns from culture, media, and our experiences. The more we're exposed to something, the more we see it as normal. Changing these patterns takes effort. Shouldn't we question the status quo? Here are common workplace biases:

Frequently asked questions

You might unconsciously prefer working with people from your team, those who attended your college, or those of the same gender as you. These preferences can lead to biases against individuals who don't fit these criteria. Recognizing and addressing these biases is crucial in the workplace. Consider implementing unconscious bias training in the workplace to address these issues.

Unconscious bias training cannot entirely eliminate biases, but it raises awareness and encourages reflection, fostering a more inclusive environment by mitigating the impact of biases in decision-making and interactions.

Regular unconscious bias training, ideally conducted annually, ensures sustained awareness and ongoing efforts to address biases. Consistent reinforcement is crucial for creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace culture.

Organizations can measure the effectiveness of unconscious bias training through post-training assessments, employee surveys, and tracking diversity and inclusion metrics to gauge changes in behavior, attitudes, and workplace dynamics.

Making unconscious bias training mandatory for all employees is advisable to ensure universal awareness and commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace, promoting equal opportunities, and mitigating biased behaviors.
