How to Recognise and Overcome Bias

Categorisation is universal. With so much information and stimuli coming our way, the brain’s instinct is to sort it quickly and efficiently. These shortcuts are helpful when deciding important things like what might be dangerous or even little things like what breakfast cereal to buy. But when our brains use shortcuts to categorise people based on surface traits, it’s called 'Unconscious Bias'. These biases, when unexamined, can lead to stereotyping and discrimination—ultimately harming productivity, morale, and retention at work. 

What you’ll learn…

• Learn about brain function and what causes common bias types.
• Understand the real and harmful consequences of unintentional bias.
• Explore strategies on how to break free from these mental habits and bring awareness to these unintentional assumptions to overcome bias.

By the end of this course, you will be more aware of what unconscious bias is and how to start to overcome it.
