Unconscious Bias & Cultivating Inclusive Behaviours

The success of an organisation in the 21st century is attributed to open diverse perspectives, experiences and thinking. Because of the unconscious processes of the human brain and interactions with people, we tend to dismiss views that are different from our own and often miss out on potential to grow and learn. This workshop is recommended for directors, managers, supervisors and team leaders and will explore the importance of addressing bias in the workplace to establish an inclusive culture. Outcomes of the workshops include:

  • About the role of team and organisational culture in cultivating inclusion
  • How to identify ‘red flag’ scenarios, processes and language that alert you to the possibility that unhelpful unconscious biases are at play
  • How to apply safeguards that mitigate the impact of unconscious biases and cultivate inclusion in your workplace.

Course date: Thursday 29 November 9:00am-1:00pm
