Unconscious Bias Training

Course Overview

The Unconscious Bias Training course provides learners with an in-depth understanding of unconscious bias and how it influences decisions, behaviours, and interactions in the workplace and everyday life. Unconscious biases are automatic assumptions or attitudes that can affect judgement without individuals being aware of them.

This course introduces the psychological foundations of unconscious bias and explores how biases are formed through experiences, cultural influences, and social conditioning. Learners will gain insight into how these biases can impact workplace relationships, decision-making, and organisational culture.
