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.

Seven Misconceptions About Unconscious Bias
There are many misconceptions about bias. It is a complex and sometimes controversial topic. Before you can take steps to operate more fairly and effectively at work, you need to get your bearings.
Six Ways To Help Your Organisation Be More Inclusive
It takes courage to stand up to bias and advocate for a welcoming and fair culture at your organisation. But courage alone won’t ensure that you actually make a difference. These strategies can increase your chances.
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.
