Unconscious Bias for Trainers (SW593)

AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectCPD - Supervisors
DescriptionEvolutionary 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. This undermines confidence and may result in poor performance, disengagement and conflict. This course will help participants to manage their biases and develop skills for overcoming them.
