Title: Break down unconscious bias within your workplace for ES/CS/SAS (SW24-011)
Venue: Zoom, Virtual
Date: Tue 7 May 2024, 09:30 to 12:30
Course style: Webinar
Catering: N/A
CPD: 3.000 points
Cost: No charge
Description: This course will help participants to manage their biases and develop skills for overcoming them. Evolutionary psychologists report that we have learned to make up our minds, in a split-second, about whether we are encountering friend or foe and are hard-wired to be suspicious of those different from ourselves. Overweight people, those with a weak handshake or tattoos, and of course gender issues, race, LGBT (to name just a few!). This undermines confidence and may result in poor performance, disengagement and conflict. As a result, individuals and organisations are missing out on great talent; not forming strong working relationships, inhibiting excellent performance etc.
