Our unconscious bias and proactive inclusion session give participants an opportunity to explore how their implicit biases and associations may impact their perceptions, behaviour, decision-making and interactions with others.

The session includes:

• An explanation of the neuroscience behind our implicit associations
• An examination of the bi-directional relationship between our unconscious biases and our environment
• Real-life examples of how unconscious bias can manifest in the workplace
• An exploration of the cumulative impact of micro-messages caused by implicit associations
• Proactive inclusion as a strategy to counter the self-perpetuating bias cycle

Using videos, interactive quizzes and scenarios, participants will get to know methods to help them recognise and address their own unconscious biases, as well as strategies for mitigating the impact of bias in organisational decision-making processes.
The session contains an action planning section focused on building a proactive and intentional approach to creating a fair, diverse and inclusive workplace.
