Implicit Bias Awareness (IB 101)
What is implicit bias and why do I have it?
Service Description
Broadly speaking, group-based bias involves varying degrees of stereotyping (exaggerated beliefs about others), prejudice (dis/liking others), and/or discrimination (unequal treatment of others) that occur above or below conscious awareness. Scholars have labeled the subconscious form of group-based bias as implicit bias. This provocative and highly interactive presentation will describe the science behind the causes and consequences of implicit bias and its impact on individuals and organizational outcomes. Practical strategies for identifying, managing, and potentially mitigating implicit bias will also be offered. This is the foundation course highly recommended to be taken prior to other courses, whether provided by MindMarks or another entity.
