Description

Welcome to the "Managing Our Unconscious Biases" training program! This thought-provoking one-day workshop is designed to raise awareness about unconscious biases and equip participants with strategies to recognise, challenge, and manage these biases in personal and professional settings. Unconscious biases are inherent and unintentional mental shortcuts that influence our perceptions and decisions without our conscious awareness.

In this training, you will explore the impact of unconscious biases on behaviour, relationships, and decision-making. Through interactive exercises and discussions, you will gain insights into how biases can lead to unintentional discrimination and hinder diversity and inclusion efforts. By the end of this program, you will have the knowledge and skills to create a more inclusive and equitable environment where diversity is celebrated, and biases are actively managed.

Whether you are a leader, manager, team member, or anyone interested in promoting diversity and inclusion, this program will empower you to be more mindful of your biases and create a more inclusive workplace.
