How to eliminate prejudice in your organisation and create a fair and inclusive working environment
Getting to grips with our unconscious bias is a critical step in creating a fair and inclusive workplace. Produced in partnership with leading UK business psychology consultancy Pearn Kandola, this course looks at why bias develops, its impact on the workplace and what we can do to tackle it at both an individual and organisational level.
No matter how open-minded we might like to think we are, we are all inherently biased. These biases develop over the course of our lives as a result of the influences of our friends and family, our personal experiences, our cultural background and external influences such as the media. While we may be largely unaware of them, they can exert a powerful influence on how we interact with those around us and the decisions that we make about people and situations.
This course combines original drama and expert analysis to provide psychological insights into how our own behaviour might be affected by bias and looks at what we can do to reduce or eliminate its influence on our working relationships and the decisions that we make. Suitable for teams of all types, the course has been designed to help people at all levels including operational managers and staff, HR managers and trainers and senior executives and business leaders.
This course will give a better understanding of:
- Why humans are biased
- The relationship between bias, prejudice and discrimination
- How unconscious bias can impact on the workplace and on working relationships
- What we can do to reduce or eliminate bias from our decision-making process
- How to identify and address bias in specific situations, such as recruitment.
Understand why humans are biased and are naturally built to stereotype
Appreciate the relationship between bias and stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination
Assess the impact of bias on their decision-making, behaviour and relationships

This course deep dive into the usual situation in our daily lives especially our work place. I therefore see this course being very resourceful and useful
It was an eye opener for me, quite an insightful course. I leant more about my bias and how it could affect my interactions with other people.
Loved studying this content.Found many relevancies from my day to day life. Thanks!!!
Not so far. I am in a membership organisation - a political party - I won't be involved in employing anybody.
Maybe it will get more relevant later on.
maybe more explaination for assesment, models, categories, backgrounds, and psychological techniques for intervention could make more comprehensive and getting the competency
the course was pretty basic, the topics presented were in a really nice way but I am lacking more in-depth look at the subject.
Everyone who truly wants to learn about their unconscious biases need to take the course. I was one of those people who use to say I don't see skin color or base anything on it. While that still can be considered true, there is so much more to it and behind the scenes. Wow, what an enlightening to recognize areas where I can improve in!
Really enjoyed this course and it definitely made me start to rethink my own bias, even though as a tried interviewing there are areas are always look to work on. The pace, information and overall presentation and content are excellent.
It was a good match but partially. I now know what is Unconscious bias, types of biases, how they affect us and what to do.
However there is not much information on how to recognize one's own biases like may be questionnaire or some pointed examples of how people recognized their own biases. There is very little info on how organizations can recognize their biases
