4 Lessons about Inclusion and Unconscious Bias

4 Lessons About Inclusion and Unconscious Bias is a course that explains unconscious biases - the prejudices we have and our tendency to make judgments about individuals or groups without being fully aware of what we are doing. Even the most open-minded individuals can have underlying, unconscious beliefs or assumptions that trigger automatic, skewed judgements about other people.

In this course psychologists Eve Ash and Peter Quarry explain that to create an inclusive workplace we need to identify our own unconscious biases, and learn strategies to make sure we do not create barriers to inclusion. Inclusion is accepting, showing respect and giving fair treatment to everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, learning styles, religious beliefs, culture, disabilities, appearance and so on.
