Over the past few years there has been a widespread awakening in government and public service when it comes to championing inclusivity, diversity and equity of gender, race and ability.
Progressive policies and working groups have been implemented to advance equality in the public service — but all of this is for nothing if we do not tackle the inherent biases we all have.
Join our free online workshop to learn how to tackle unconscious bias in the public service, beyond just tick-box training exercises. You’ll explore how to build a culture in the workplace where unconscious biases are addressed and proactively tackled, and understand the ways in which unconscious bias affects your work.
You'll learn:
- What unconscious bias actually means and how it manifests in the workplace
- How to challenge and check your own biases
- How to tackle unconscious bias at a departmental and organisational level, including different approaches and techniques
Who should watch:
This workshop is for anyone who wants to understand more about unconscious bias in the workplace, and learn how to tackle it at every level.
