UNCONSCIOUS GENDER BIAS TRAINING

Unconscious biases are learned attitudes, beliefs and assumptions that we hold subconsciously and affect the way we feel and think about others around us. Everyone has unconscious bias and these can be a major contributor to the lack of diversity and gender equality in the workplace. Whilst these biases are unconscious, individuals and organisations can take steps to minimise their impact.

Gender Equality Solutions' Unconscious Gender Bias Training provides participants with an understanding of the issue of unconscious gender bias in the workplace and provides strategies to help them overcome unconscious bias in their workplaces and as individuals.
