OVERVIEW
Addressing Unconscious Bias Lets Your People Thrive
Every day, your people are faced with countless bits of information while making decisions that range from the pragmatic to the strategic. As they confront more and more information and have to act quickly while considering varying perspectives, your leaders and team members are primed to rely on biased thinking called unconscious bias.
Unconscious biases are how our brains compensate for overload which can inhibit performance and lead to poor decision-making. Helping your leaders and team members address bias will let them thrive, increasing performance across your entire organisation.
Unconscious biases are, well, UNCONSCIOUS, which makes them hard to identify, much less know their true impact. Bias is a complex and sometimes controversial issue. Is it any wonder that there are so many misconceptions around what to do? Before you can take steps to operate more fairly and effectively at work, you need to get your bearings.

OBJECTIVES
Bias is a natural part of the human condition—of how the brain works. And it affects how we make decisions, engage with others, and respond to various situations and circumstances, often limiting potential. There is nothing more fundamental to performance than how we see and treat each other as human beings.

OUTCOME
Unconscious Bias: Understanding Bias to Unleash Potential offers a principle-based and practical approach to identifying and addressing bias in our everyday life.

This solution will help organisations that need to:
- Develop leaders who create an inclusive workplace and address unconscious bias’s impact on decision making.
- Build a culture where everyone feels respected, included, and valued.
- Improve collaboration between newly acquired groups or between existing functional silos.
- Develop an inclusive culture that positively impacts the bottom line.
- Shift from a compliance-based approach to diversity training to a more practical, action-oriented approach.
- Close the gap between expected and actual behaviours in how people see and treat each other.
