Unconscious Bias for Managers

UK equality law defines nine protected characteristics, and if our bias results in discrimination based on these, it is illegal.

Beyond this, unconscious bias can lead to segregation. Those feeling left out may become demotivated, affecting the productivity of your whole team.

Our Unconscious Bias for Managers Training Course will help your leaders understand its impact and how to eliminate unconscious bias from their teams.

We also have a general Unconscious Bias Course for all staff.

Common FAQs

How do I safely collect data about Diversity and Inclusion in my Company?

Our Diversity Survey tool is fully anonymous, enabling employees to provide honest feedback without identifying information. Responses are aggregated to protect privacy and securely stored in compliance with GDPR regulations, providing valuable insights on diversity and inclusion.

Can I track incidents related to Diversity and Inclusion?

Our compliance breach register allows you to track incidents like discrimination, harassment, or policy non-compliance. This tool securely documents each case, providing a confidential audit trail for monitoring and accountability.

Are the courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarations, surveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Can users only view the courses assigned to them?

Yes. Users can view all the courses in the portal that have been assigned to them as either mandatory or optional. Courses that are mandatory will have a deadline shown.
