Unconscious Bias Training for Management, Page 2 Reviews

A lot of what was contained in the course content was repetitive, common sense and thing I already knew. I found some of the content a little patronising really.

Thought provoking but could also make me feel a bit paranoid when dealing with people

would prefer some fact sheets and ability to jump to test as a start, to see if you know the content, if you fail then you have to do the course

Fairly comprehensive. Good range of biases explained. Ironically, the makers of the resource seemed to make a lot of assumptions about the people taking the training course. One thing irked me though. In the 'Examine your assumptions' office move scenario, it was implied by the presenter that we (trainees) had let our unconscious bias cloud our judgement about the man who conducted a phone conversation in Russian. "the majority of us may have assumed that he'd speak English like the people around him." No, the majority of us assumed he'd speak English because he does speak English. The first sentence he speaks is in English.

Not as good as courses I'd previously done, which included refreshments.

Good content, but the course is quite repetitive and could be shortened to 30 minutes by removing some of the excess content. However, repetition does help to emphasise the main points.

I found some of the examples (faces/voices) a little patronising.

Useful overview, but difficult to tackle such a complex subject in this format. The example of the office guy speaking a different language was odd and didn't really work.

Topic was very familiar to me, so as a result I didn't find the training particularly engaging. The format was unnecessarily repetitive and I found it training quite formulaic.

Without the final section, it was very much a repeat of the Unconscious Bias training.
