Course Description
Implicit bias occurs when someone consciously rejects stereotypes and supports anti-discrimination efforts but also holds negative associations in their mind unconsciously.
Since much of the work our brain does occurs on the unconscious level, implicit bias does not mean that people are hiding their prejudices. They just aren’t always conscious that they have them.
Implicit bias can occur in myriad areas like race, gender, sexual orientation, age, color, social status, and physical and mental abilities.
Because people may not recognize the prejudices they harbor, they likely don’t realize how their behavior is impacting the workplace. Trust, cohesion, and respect are at risk if accountability is not enacted.
In this webinar:
- Participants will explore biases and how they damage relationships.
- Participants will learn to have meaningful and respectful conversations about individual differences at work specifically
- Participants will practice techniques to raise their consciousness in diversity matters.

Why you should attend
You have 2 employees on your team, one joined the team right after the high school with no certification to his credit; another with a college degree. Unconsciously, would you assume one is less capable to second, because certification proves expertise level, right?
When hiring, evaluating, or promoting employees, we often measure people against our implicit assumptions of what talent looks like—our hidden “template of success.”
These templates potentially favor one group over others, even if each group member was equally likely to be successful. Therefore, it is not surprising that most managers hire or promote candidates who fit into these templates.
We need to challenge the assumptions behind our templates for success.
Many managers want to be more inclusive, but they don’t know how to get there. They are often not given the right tools to overcome the challenges posed by implicit biases.
Research supports there are proven methods using which Leaders can overcome bias.
