Unconscious Bias Training
Employees around Australia report that they still deal with bias regularly
The goal of this training is to help organisations understand the impact of unconscious bias and how it negatively impacts interactions and decision-making. Bias can be both conscious and unconscious (often perpetrated without malicious intent) – but both have a damaging effect on things like recruitment, access to opportunities, and succession. To make sure your organisation is equitable, people need to first become aware of their biases, so that systems, processes and decision-making can change.
Learn more about unconscious bias in this short 3-minute video.
