Every human being makes immediate, snap decisions about new people. It is purely instinctual and happens faster than we can comprehend, as quickly as 30 milliseconds! This process is called Unconscious Bias, and can have a huge influence on how we respond to new people or groups of people.
Unconscious Bias means we must:
- Understand why it happens.
- Recognise how Unconscious Bias affects you and your organisation
- Learn how to recognise and manage your Unconscious Bias
- Raise awareness and manage Unconscious Bias in the workplace
