Unconscious bias - line manager training

Author: Snéha Khilay

Introduction

All individuals, including you in your role as a line manager, make unconscious choices that discriminate in favour of, or against, certain characteristics in a person or a group. As a result of these unconscious biases, processes such as recruitment, promotion, work allocation, performance reviews and redundancies are not conducted in a fair or consistent manner.

By acknowledging and addressing the unconscious biases that you, or others, have, you are helping to create an organisation that attracts, retains and nurtures the right skills irrespective of any differences, visible or invisible.

This training is intended to help you realise the value to you and your organisation of identifying and tackling unconscious bias, ensuring that you act fairly and within the law.
