Unconscious Bias Training
It is a mandatory requirement for all BFfC employees to attend an Unconscious Bias session. We will offer two mop up sessions on 14 & 17 June. There is one session per day and you only need to attend one session. The sessions have a 90minute duration, will be delivered virtually, and are instructor led.
Description
Why is it important?
During this 90-minute session, BFfC employees will delve into the topic of unconscious bias and how it can affect their daily professional lives. The course will look at different types of bias that typically influence thinking and decision-making processes. By the end of the session, employees will have developed some strategies to help overcome the impact that unconscious bias can have in the workplace.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
- Explain the difference between our reflective and reflexive minds
- List three types of unconscious bias and explain where they come from
- Identify micro-inequities and micro affirmations
- Describe a range of strategies to overcome the negative impact of unconscious bias
