Unconscious Bias

Every day every one of us is taking - or not taking - some action based on thoughts and beliefs that are driven by our unconscious thinking system. The result? Our decisions, relationships and perceptions of others are sometimes driven not by rational observation, but by inaccurate assumptions.

Our unconscious thinking system is critical to our survival - it helps us to multitask, respond effectively when our safety is compromised and avoid information overload. However, unconscious processes are also prone to errors that can lead to flawed decision-making, significant bias and blinkered thinking.

Learning outcomes

This workshop will enable you to:

understand the difference between our conscious and unconscious thinking systems
identify the impact biases have on individual and team performance, engagement and wellbeing
identify the 'Red Flags' that can alert you to bias being at play in communications, decisions and performance assessments
apply Individual and team safeguards that can help minimise the impact of unconscious bias at work.
