Unconscious Bias Training
What is this program?
Unconscious bias is the tendency of our brains to make quick judgments and assessments about people and situations based on our past experiences, cultural background, and societal norms.
These hidden biases can lead us to make assumptions and decisions that are not based on facts or merit, and can result in unintentional discrimination and inequality.
This workshop is informed by evidence-based research on unconscious bias and cognitive decision-making. Participants learn that bias is a natural mental habit, not a personal failing, and are guided to recognise, reflect on, and mitigate these patterns in practical ways that enhance fairness, inclusion, and sound decision-making.

One-day in-person session for up to 24 participants
This workshop is best delivered as a full-day, in-person session to maximise the impact of its experiential components and ensure effective content delivery.
If you’re organisation is not able to commit to a full day, the session can be adapted into a half-day program, capped at 15 participants.
We’re developing a new online format, delivered as three 2 ½-hour sessions over three weeks. Please get in touch for details.
Short, introductory sessions are also available online.

Understand what unconscious bias is, how it forms, and how it influences thoughts, behaviours, and decision-making;
Recognise common bias signals and spot how bias can show up in the workplace and everyday situations;
Explore the impact of unconscious bias on hiring, promotion, and other workplace decisions, and learn ways to reduce it;

Learning outcomes are indicative and will be refined to suit the cohort and the format of delivery.
