Everyone has unconscious bias. It's a part of human nature. It is the tendency to perceive people or events in a certain way when we make 'snap' decisions or assessments. This can impact the way they work with others and the decisions they make, and in the case of managers, it can lead to discriminatory behaviour.
Bias can lead to segregation. Certain people who feel left out may be demotivated. The spirit and productivity of your team may suffer. It can also mean that some people are treated unfairly, and lead to discrimination.
Equality laws in the UK have created nine protected characteristics: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation. Unconscious bias based on any of these areas, e.g. race or marital status, that's discrimination is illegal.
Our Unconscious Bias for Managers course helps leaders to understand the impact it has and how to eliminate it from their positions and teams.
We also have a similar course for all staff entitled Unconscious Bias.
