Unconscious Bias.
Our brains are wired towards patterns and similarity, which is why we seek out like people.
Within a corporate setting, the number one initiative of all leaders must be to display an awareness, understanding, and proactive approach to minimising unconscious biases.
Simple initiatives that can be taken to minimise unconscious bias within the workplace include:
- Raising Awareness
- Understanding the Impact
- Reviewing Recruitment Practices
- Managing
- Counteracting
- Our Leadership Training Program
Raising Awareness
Having the knowledge but also being able to identify different types of biases comes with training and experience.
At The Learning Variable we offer training and workshops with the main purpose of gaining insight, understanding & awareness into unconcious bias.
Understanding
Within the corporate environment stereotypes are often use to categorise people and their thinking patterns.
Our leadership workshops delve into ways to counteract bias, with the intention of creating a collaborative approach at remaining unbiased.
Reviewing Recruitment & Talent Management Practices
Shifting your thinking style, pattern of behaviours & unconcsious bias towards potential candidates is integral to creating a diversified, collaborative culture & organisation. Part of our approach is to work with hiring managers & talent management teams to consciously rethink some of their assumptions about what they determine is a good recruit. The next phase of this training is to then equip the recruitment and talent management team with the skills to influence hiring managers & offer their knowledge and training towards being consciously unbiased.
Managing
Being armed with effective ways to manage unconscious bias within your organisation is our specialty. We equip leaders with the knowledge to be aware, attract and select based around conscious unbiased thought, whilst managing talent effectively.
We equip leaders and teams with resources.
Counteracting
Having the knowledge on how to manage and mitigate unconscious bias creates power within a workforce, as it will help build stronger, more diversified teams who are specialists within their fields with zero tolerance to biases. We centre your thinking around breaking down old patterns of thinking and behaviour.
Our Bespoke Leadership Program
We facilitate workshops to assist leaders and individuals to understand the concepts surrounding a proactive and
non-judgmental approach within the workplace.
