Unconscious Bias Education

What is Unconscious Bias?

It is important to be mindful of unconscious bias, as it can impact the workplace, especially in recruitment, promotion and retention. Unconscious bias cannot be completely removed, however, it can be minimized through training and raising awareness. Unconscious bias refers to the life experiences, information, influences, actions and other's reactions that form the thoughts, feelings and judgements that are unintentional and not controlled. It can cause missed opportunities, poor decisions, lead to discrimination, stereotyping, and limit potential
