Action on Bias

“But everybody has bias, so there’s nothing we can do!”. This is a pushback we have heard a lot since the Government report on the efficacy of Unconscious Bias training back in Dec 2020 – and it’s a pushback we’re happy to dispute! 

Whilst it remains true that we all have bias, this simply increases the need for inclusive organisations to make tackling it a priority, because contrary to some dissenting opinions, there is a lot that we can do. This is why our full day ‘Action on Bias’ programme focuses purely on it’s namesake, action. Throughout the programme delegates work together to first explore and create scenarios around bias (using our creative teams help of course), before workshopping a variety of ways we can challenge it, in ourselves, others and in our organisation. 

Bias comes in many forms, unconscious, conscious, even overt. However, what remains a constant in our biases, are our motivations, what actually happens underneath the surface to give these unconscious beliefs voice and form? These are the discussions that we facilitate in our workshop, ensuring that all delegates are equipped to not simply challenge bias, but to question it, explore it and understand it, leading to impactful and lasting behaviour change.
