Unconscious Bias Training for Management Reviews

No summary provided

I had already given this some thought because I am aware of my past failings in this area. Even so, there were some new ideas in this course that were interesting and useful for me. I think I will be a more open person now and more inclined to look only at the facts. I will certainly anonymise application forms and structure interviews where I can. I thought the test was a little easy but maybe because the course had done its work? The presenter was brilliant; I now have a very favourable bias towards women of her colour with an armful of tattoos (joke, just in case you were in doubt))

need to be able to skip through to the test. I recieved no new knoweldge from the training and could of passed the test without it.

A helpful and informative introduction to the subject of uncionscious bias, which explains the key concepts clearly and memorably, is presented engagingly, makes good use of graphics and videos and has the right amount of information in each section.

The content is about 75% the same as the Unconscious Bias Training for Employees. Perhaps I was only meant to do one of the courses...!

Generally very good, I found some examples a little difficult and unreal. For example one was asked to consider why one did not expect it when an individual in a meeting who was speaking good English suddenly spoke in a different language when taking a phone call. It is obvious that one would not expect that because it does not routinely happen. The only issue would be if one thought of the person negatively as a result. One was also asked to consider unconscious bias based on a person's appearance. Some roles require a smart appearance and whilst one should not treat negatively aspects of appearance which are beyond an individual's control, it would be reasonable to consider someone attending an interview that had no regard for smartness and appearance more negatively than someone who did, particularly for a role requiring smart appearance.

We learn unconscious bias throughout our lives and this course was excellent at showing you how this happens and tools to challenge our beliefs.
