Overcoming Unconscious Bias in the Workplace

Why is this course important?

We strive to be unbiased and fair. Unfortunately, research studies show that even though we have the best intentions, our unconscious and unintended biases can get in the way of achieving this goal. Many studies have shown that our unintended biases can, without our awareness, affect what we notice about other people, how we interpret their behavior, and what we expect of them. Biases can influence the way we perceive and treat individuals who are different from us. In workplace settings, these unintended biases can prevent us from connecting authentically and engaging inclusively with others. Being aware of our biases is not enough.

This learning experience includes practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent unintended biases from affecting you, your coworkers/colleagues, and the people you serve.

Most importantly, it will give you knowledge and strategies to help you live your values – treating people fairly and without bias.

Thousands of studies have shown that even well-meaning people can be unintentionally, and often unconsciously, biased.

In this evidence-based online course, you will learn:

  • Where unintended, and often unconscious, implicit biases come from.
  • How biases can, without our awareness, negatively impact us and those around us.
  • Practical, evidence-based strategies to prevent unintended biases from affecting us, our coworkers/colleagues, and the people we serve.

eLearning preventing stereotype threat or identity threat in the workplace

Creating Identity-Safe Teams by Understanding and Preventing Stereotype Threat

Why is this course important?

Hundreds of studies have shown that our performance and well-being can be strongly affected by being aware (consciously or unconsciously) that a stereotype about a group we belong to might affect the way others see us. Simply put, we fear that an unfair stereotype will be applied to us, even though we may not be consciously aware of that fear at the time.

This experience is called identity threat or, more commonly, stereotype threat.

Research in a wide variety of settings and situations has shown that stereotype threat is prevalent, can affect anyone, and has surprisingly powerful negative effects.

You may have experienced stereotype threat, even if you did not realize it at the time.

  • This learning experience will give you insight and skills to increase your confidence, improve your performance, lower your stress, and improve your quality of life.
  • Many of your coworkers experience stereotype threat, even though they may have never heard of it.
  • This learning experience will help you understand and empower your coworkers, bring out the best in them and others, and support a vibrant and inclusive workplace.
  • The people you serve may experience stereotype threat.
  • This learning experience will give you the understanding and strategies you need to improve the quality of service you provide to your client or customers, thus improving their experience and loyalty.
