Understanding Unconscious Bias
WHAT IS UNCONSCIOUS BIAS?
Unconscious Bias can be a positive or negative assumption activated involuntarily, without conscious awareness or intention.
Our biases can be influenced by many factors, including our culture, background, and personal experiences.
You may understand Bias from the perspective of a professional in the executive support role. Regardless of tenure or seniority, many administrative assistants often have to deal with negative stereotypes surrounding their roles. These stereotypes can be at odds with modern workplace dynamics and the scope of the role. The decisions others make based on a negative or incorrect assumption can impact their position, career advancement and undermine their influence in the workplace.
WHY THIS COURSE IS ESSENTIAL FOR YOUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We look at Unconscious Bias from the perspective of the executive and personal assistant role and equip you with strategies to empower your engagement that will change perceptions.
However, no one is immune to Bias. You may, yourself, be unaware of the influences that impact your choices, decisions, engagement and even leadership style. These influences stem from many different elements, including your culture, background and personal experiences. Developing a better understanding and awareness of Bias is therefore critical to your professional growth. A heightened awareness can be a decisive first step in managing your biases impact on yourself and others.
The ability to challenge Bias and stereotypes begins with understanding what Bias is and what you can do to change perceptions.
Unconscious bias training helps to recognise that such biases exist and provides strategies to help reduce the impact that they can have on workplace interactions and decisions.
Organisations the world over are making Unconscious Bias training an essential and effective component of diversity and inclusion efforts.

What our course participants have to say…
I’ve done Unconscious Bias training before but never one that looked at it from the perspective of our role - one that gets stereotyped a lot! I have learnt so much about how to assert myself in those moments of judgement but in a positive way, taking my learning to a new level. Thank you!
It was very doable as a short course and yet covered much very valuable material.
Ease of training. It was clear and well explained with examples given along to help one understand.
The small group discussion at the end, really engaged me into the topic!
The online learning, at my pace, and having the ability to go back and forth as needed to review the material was terrific.
