Dealing with Unconscious Bias

Unconscious bias refers to our beliefs about individuals or groups of people that we are often unaware of.

We all have unconscious biases – our brains simply take in more information that they can process, so we rely on mental shortcuts to simplify the world around us.

This interactive panel discussion will help you understand unconscious bias, where it comes from and how it affects the way we work and the decisions we make.

We’ll be covering:

* What is unconscious bias and how it plays out in the workplace?

* How to recognise your own biases?

* Practical strategies to interrupt our biases and foster inclusion.
