For whom?
For everyone who what to understand themselves better, and to actively remove barriers for inclusive environment.
Why?
Equ(al)ity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are central to advancing employee wellbeing and success. Diversity refers to the differences between individuals who work in an organization. Equity refers to giving everyone access to equal opportunity by providing the tools they need to succeed, and inclusion means creating an environment in which all individuals are treated fairly and respectfully.
Unconscious biases can prevent organizations from being diverse, equitable and inclusive. The aims of this course are:
- To build participants’ awareness of what unconscious biases are, and how and why they are formed
- To support participants in recognizing the impact unconscious biases have on their own behaviours and in their workplaces
- To enable participants to take action to prevent the impact of unconscious biases
What?
We recommend completing five sections in the designed order. Each section contains an informative video which explains the key terminology and concepts, as well as accompanying reflection exercises which you can complete at your own pace. At the end of the course you will find a quiz to test your knowledge. In each section you can also find a list of recommended readings, which you may choose to explore in your own time after completing the training.
