Unconscious bias training

Everybody has biases and prejudices and some we know of, some are hidden even from ourselves. But our actions, our feelings, our reactions often give them away. It is great if we detect them, but most often only others notice them, leaving us to stay in an unhelpful position.

Stereotypes we inherit or develop as a result of experience are important in our everyday lives. The ability to make quick, split second decisions based on thinking in schemas can save lives. But we encounter many important situations that would require analytical, careful thinking mechanisms.

We must acknowledge and recognise these situations so our unconscious biases cannot work against us. Only if we can ensure this, can we achieve fullfillment in our roles, and can let other people be fulfilled in their roles.

We need to make ourselves aware of these situations, so the hidden biases do not work against our interest. If we manage to bring important and serious decisions overcoming our biases, only then we will be able to fulfill our human potential and can let and help other people fulfill their potential. We otherwise risk that only the traditionally predetermined opportunities are available to us and to our organisations.

Our Courses for Companies

Tailor made for the target group

The lack of diversity in our lives can be detrimental to our success. Not to mention that innovation is now proven to be highly dependent on inclusion and diversity, as diverse groups can more efficiently solve complex problems than homogeneous groups.

Today the biggest and most successful companies in the world are regularly training their employees on unconscious bias and on how to avoid its negative effects on decision making.

Companies that have diverse management had a 15% better chance to surpass the financial success of the national industry average, and can enjoy almost double the revenue share of innovative products in their portfolio compared to companies with below average diversity scores. By 2025 almost 75% of the workforce will be from the Y generation, who claim that they are 83% more loyal to their employer, if that is inclusive and diverse. The stakes are therefore high!

We believe that the best trainings are individually tailored to the target group. This is why we developed our own trainings that we always tailor for your needs.

For a modern, 21st century manager the following things are crucial:

• Fair, bias free decisions,
• The ability to attract and keep the right talent,
• The ability to create an inclusive company culture,
• The ability to get the most out of the team.
