About this bitesize training course

Evolutionary psychologists tell us that humans can make up their minds, in a split-second, about whether they are encountering friend or foe.

Unconscious bias training for employees at your workplace can help bring these subliminal processes into conscious awareness, interrupting snap judgements and creating the mental space to engage, listen and understand.

A workforce well-versed in the nuances of unconscious bias is better equipped to maintain a harmonious environment that minimises conflicts, grievance, and potential legal liabilities.

Like all our diversity & inclusion training courses, this session is designed to be warm, open, and free of judgement. Instead, it’s a friendly, down-to-earth and non-confrontational session full of helpful tips, helping employees simply take a relaxed extra moment before they act or react, naturally allow their inbuilt sense of empathy and curiosity to take the wheel.

Participants in our bitesize Unconscious bias training course will learn to:

  • Understand where unconscious bias stems from and key terminology

  • Recognise the many formats in which unconscious biases exist

  • Understand the consequences to individuals and teams when unconscious biases influence behaviour

  • Identify personal unconscious biases and how they may contrast with conscious views

  • Adopt techniques for overcoming and challenging unconscious bias in order to be more inclusive

Open eyes, hearts and minds with unconscious bias training for employees.

In the bustling corridors of modern workplaces, the cogs of productivity and innovation can sometimes become entangled with the subtle complexities of human interaction.

In the diverse melting pot of today's workforce, the potential for unconscious biases to hinder collaboration and success is greater than ever before. That's where our Unconscious Bias training sessions come into play, providing a transformative experience that benefits employees, the organisation, and human resources alike.

Employees will gain a deeper understanding of where unconscious bias stems from and learn to differentiate it from stereotyping and discrimination. By recognising the numerous formats in which biases exist, they will be empowered to identify their own unconscious biases and how these may contrast with their conscious views. The training equips them with techniques for overcoming and challenging unconscious bias, fostering a more inclusive and harmonious work environment.

The ripple effects of this enhanced awareness extend far beyond the individual. As employees develop skills to manage their biases, teams become more cohesive and effective, paving the way for the organisation as a whole to reap the benefits. Enhanced communication, stronger collaboration, and a more inclusive culture all contribute to improved performance and innovation, positioning your organisation at the forefront of your sector.

From a human resources perspective, the Unconscious Bias training proves invaluable in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. A workforce that is well-versed in the nuances of unconscious bias is better equipped to maintain a harmonious environment that minimises conflicts, grievances, and potential legal liabilities. The positive effects of the training can also lead to increased employee retention, a factor that translates to long-term cost savings and stability.

Moreover, the training addresses critical issues and problems that may arise from unchecked biases. The risks to the individual, the team, and the company are substantial. Unconscious biases can result in poor performance, disengagement, and conflict, undermining the very essence of teamwork and collaboration. By providing the tools to identify and overcome these biases, our training actively prevents such issues from derailing the progress of your organisation.

Imagine a workplace where the hum of collaboration is punctuated by the buzz of ideas, where diversity fuels innovation and teams transcend their limitations to reach new heights. This is the vision our Unconscious Bias training brings to life, instilling the skills necessary for employees and organisations to flourish in an increasingly interconnected world.

Whether you represent a public sector organisation, a professional services firm, a science or technology company, or a charity or NGO, our Unconscious Bias training is tailored to meet the needs of your unique workforce.

Take a step toward a more inclusive and harmonious workplace by providing our Unconscious Bias training to your employees. Together, we can break down the barriers that hold us back and forge a path to a brighter, more connected future.
