This Unconscious Bias eLearning will explain to your people:
- what unconscious bias is,
- how it appears at work,
- what your business is doing to combat it, and
- what they can do at a personal level to reduce this inequality.
Whether it’s how your people engage with your customers or how they interact internally, unconscious biases permeate and effect every interpersonal interaction we have.
Systemic adjustments (such as data-led decision making) are brilliant at negating the effects of bias, but they skirt around the issue. If your people talk, unconscious bias has an impact at that interpersonal level.
Learners love this Unconscious Bias training:
…one of the best I’ve seen in [the LMS]. It was excellent! Whoever designed that, big high 5. I wish they could all be like that!

Unique Unconscious Bias eLearning features
Careful treatment of examples
Examples are gold in training, yet examples of stereotypes are an HR minefield. The module carefully walks the line, using blanks and prompts for the learner to mentally fill the gaps with their own stereotypes and prejudice rather than directly providing any.
Encourages personal reflection
Understanding what unconscious bias is and its damage is one thing, but discovering and challenging your own biases is another. The module is sensitive to both the importance of exploring learners’ biases and dealing with the uncomfortable knowledge that may result.
Personal commitment pledge
The module strives to encourage behaviour change to reduce bias, rather than merely educate on the topic. Learners are asked to make an optional commitment to perform behaviours that will combat unconscious bias and reduce its negative effects in the workplace.
Challenging
quiz
A challenging five question quiz focussing on desired behaviours provides assurance that your learners understand what they need to do if they want to lessen the impact of unconscious bias.
