IMPLICIT BIAS MITIGATION: INDIVIDUALS

In addition to addressing organizational bias, it is very important for individuals to identify, accept, manage, or mitigate their personal biases. Although individual bias may not become systemic or part of an organization’s culture, it can affect subsets of employees, customers, and community members depending on one’s role in society (e.g., motorists stopped by a biased police officer or students of a biased teacher). This workshop will challenge individuals to explore the origins of various personal biases, their potential impact on personal and professional lives, and five evidence-based practices for managing or mitigating those biases. Participants will be given several homework exercises and lists of resources for deeper exploration following the workshop. Is applied consistently, the strategies presenting in this training will you a better parent, partner, sibling, friend, manager, employee, and just a better person overall.
