Unconscious Bias

During this session, you will delve into the topic of unconscious bias and how it can affect our daily lives. The course will look at different types of bias that typically influence our thinking and decision-making processes. By the end of the session, you will have developed some strategies to help overcome the impact that unconscious bias can have in the workplace. Unconscious biases are our implicit people preferences, formed by our socialization, our experiences, and our exposure to others' views about other groups of people, for example in the media. Our experiences act as social filters which we use to make judgements and assessments of those around us. We are hard-wired to place people into different categories.
