Unconscious Bias E-learning for Managers

Our design is built around real-life scenarios. We’ll make your managers aware that unconscious bias exists in all of us, and then focus on the steps that can be practically taken to overcome it. We’ll collaborate with you to design an unconscious bias package that really resonates with your managers.

Components in your unconscious bias e-learning course may include (non-exhaustive list):

• Definitions and key concepts for managers
• Considering the legal context of unconscious bias
• How unconscious bias affects your decision making and problem solving
• How unconscious bias impacts on your organisational culture
• Managing cultural conflict at work
• Skills, tools and techniques to overcome unconscious bias in talent management
• Facilitated reflection
• Strategic action planning to address unconscious bias
• The psychology and science of unconscious bias, and the latest research on the subject.

In the workplace, the effects of not addressing unconscious bias can range from:

• Individuals feeling excluded and being less productive and engaged as a result
• A failure to maximise team performance and the other business benefits of diversity
• Instances of workplace bullying, unlawful harassment or discrimination
• By addressing unconscious bias, companies can improve employee engagement and performance levels, and reduce the need for costly mediation and/or tribunal.

Our unconscious bias e-learning for managers focuses on what can be done given that we all have biases. In practical terms this will mean building your managers’ individual awareness of unconscious bias, and their understanding of its impact at work. We’ll also prime them with a series of practical tools, strategies and frameworks they can apply immediately to their management roles.
