This course, Understanding and Addressing Implicit Bias in the Workplace, provides participants with the knowledge and tools to recognize and mitigate unconscious biases that influence decision-making and behavior in professional settings. Over the course of eight lessons, learners will explore the nature of implicit bias, how it forms, and the impact it has on hiring, promotions, team dynamics, customer interactions, and overall organizational culture. Key topics include differentiating between explicit and implicit bias, identifying common types such as racial, gender, and age biases, and understanding the concept of intersectionality.

Participants will engage in self-assessment exercises to identify their own biases, while also learning strategies to reduce bias through mindfulness, perspective-taking, and exposure to counter-stereotypical examples. The course emphasizes creating an inclusive workplace by fostering open communication, implementing bias-conscious policies, and promoting diversity and representation. In the final lesson, participants will develop a personalized action plan for ongoing bias reduction and continuous improvement.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with practical strategies to create a more equitable, inclusive work environment, benefiting both individuals and the organization as a whole.
This course is suitable for employees, managers, and organizational leaders who wish to gain a deeper understanding of implicit bias and its effects on the workplace. It is especially valuable for those committed to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable work environment.
