Understanding and Reflecting on Unconscious Bias
Through which lens do we see other people? This training shows how unconscious bias shapes our perception—and how it can affect everyday collaboration and social dynamics at work.
Through which lens do we see other people? While we often assume that prejudice plays no role in our interactions, unconscious bias and ingrained thinking patterns can influence our perceptions more than we realise. This training offers engaging insights into how the brain works and highlights the social impact of unconscious assumptions in the workplace. Participants learn to recognise bias more clearly, reflect on their own patterns, and approach diversity in collaboration with greater awareness.
Talking about our own biases can be challenging. However, reflection and identification of these biases can enable us to modify our behaviour and become better, more inclusive leaders in our interactions with colleagues, employees and business partners.
Bias is a fact of human psychology. Built up over years of conscious and unconscious experiences, it shapes our attitudes and perceptions of others and influences our actions. Dealing with unconscious bias is challenging because of its very nature – it is difficult to admit that we have biases when we are not aware of them.
This can therefore be a sensitive topic. However, identifying and overcoming bias is a vital step for leaders to build an inclusive environment in their workplace. Inclusive leadership enables the development and sustainable success of diverse teams in which all members are equally valued. It also enables accurate assessment and understanding of interactions with business partners.
