Unconscious Bias Training, Page 5 Reviews

I worry a lot about racial and class bias in my work place. Not sure this approach is going to sort it.

One of the questions provided throughout the course is incorrect - the one on Confirmation Bias.

Delivery was okay, but I found the examples excruciatingly uncomfortable and patronising.

The content was obvious and predictable, it lacked depth, some of the questions were self leading, having said that it was well presented.

Poor format and poor training. iHasco always manages to miss the mark somehow.

I found the metaphors (drawers and river) to be weak and the reference to ‘some studies’ was rather dumbed down (could links to the actual studies have been provided?). The categories of bias was interesting and valuable, but that was 2 minutes in the middle of The session. I found the examples were actually trying to elicit reactions to biases I wouldn’t otherwise have had (perhaps that’s because I’m a linguist and therefore spent most of the time trying to identify objective dialect or language features rather than making assumptions about peoples’ jobs). Fundamentally, the point about making decisions about the present based on the past is true of ALL decisions and we cannot make decisions without emotion and memory, and failure to use these vital faculties also hampers our capacity to function in a business context. The message of ACT is valid but could have been communicated in 5 minutes rather than 30 and wasn’t in any way new to me as that is a process I engage in sufficiently frequently that it is now a habit.

Too long and too much repetition.

Online learning does not suit my learning style and I did not enjoy completing this course. Additionally, the PC that I use does not have sound and therefore the sound clips were particularly ineffective.
