What is “Unconscious bias in the workplace” training?

In this training, we explore the concept of unconscious bias and how it plays out in the workplace, its impact on your organization’s brand and ability to attract and retain talent.

Why is “Unconscious bias in the workplace” training important?

One of the primary obstacles we face in leveraging workplace diversity is our own unconscious bias. Research suggests that we instinctively place people into categories based on their appearance, educational level, social status, job title, and so on. Right or wrong, this helps us order our world and saves us time and effort as we process information about people. These unconscious biases can affect who is hired, promoted, and developed in the workplace, which can ultimately derail your organization’s culture, diversity efforts and overall productivity.

What is a diversity workshop?
Done well, diversity workshops consist of safe, positive and engaging facilitator-led discussions that lead to healthy self-reflection, greater self-awareness and positive behavior change. The end result: more collaborative, engaged and productive workforces, workplaces and communities.

Why is DEI training important?
DEI training elevates participants’ awareness about the different types of diversity inherent in society, appreciation of the differences among us, and provides strategies to change employee behaviors that lead to more inclusive, collaborative, innovative and productive work environments.

Does DEI training work?
Done well, DEI training functions effectively as a necessary starting point for getting all staff on the same page regarding an organization’s DEI lexicon, where the organization is going from a DEI perspective and the rationale for doing so. DEI training alone is not a panacea. But, it’s an important early step in an organization’s DEI journey – setting a baseline of understanding for the achievement of long-term, organization-wide workforce, workplace and marketplace goals.
