Manage Unconscious Bias With Proven Training
Build the foundation for your organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion learning journey with unconscious bias training that drives measurable results.
What is Unconscious Bias?

Also known as implicit biases, these are the mental shortcuts all our brains make when we’re navigating the day. These shortcuts are based on what we’ve observed in the world around us: the advertisements we’ve seen, the television we watch, the books we’ve read, and the common sayings we’ve heard throughout our lives. And unfortunately, those observations often include stereotypes. If we aren’t aware of — or don’t manage these unconscious biases, we’re likely to make decisions that are influenced by them. While we can’t eliminate it altogether, helping employees learn how to manage unconscious bias is critical to building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the possible impacts of unconscious bias?
Unconscious bias can affect any part of your organization, from hiring to promotions to your employees’ daily experiences.
Is unconscious bias preventable?
Unconscious bias is based on the way your brain functions, so it can’t be prevented entirely. Instead, it needs to be addressed continuously through intentional efforts to manage those biases.
How do you manage unconscious bias?
Putting more structure into your decision-making is the best way to manage biases. We teach a three-part framework: time, intention, and process (TIP).
Are unconscious bias and racism the same?
No, unconscious bias and racism are not the same thing. However, there is a relationship between the two: unconscious bias is informed by stereotypes that are often grounded in racism. If you rely on those stereotypes to make decisions — consciously or unconsciously — you risk perpetuating racism and racist myths.
