There are over 150 types of biases, both conscious and unconscious. While some of us are self-aware and understand the depth and breadth of our biases, many of us could improve our level of awareness, particularly in relation to our unconscious biases. Unconscious bias refers to a person's attitude or beliefs about others that happen without the person being aware of it. In the workplace, these subconscious preferences effect our opinions based on facts or experiences from our past. Unconscious biases negatively affect our decision-making and workplace culture, creating opportunities for stereotyping, pre-judging, hiring process unfairness, treating employees differently, and even discrimination. Our biases also negatively impact workplace culture and teams because we treat other people unfairly or differently without even realizing it.This workshop helps attendees understand our biases, how they negatively impact our workplace.
