UNCONSCIOUS BIAS TRAINING THAT DELIVERS CHANGE

We all have biases that we aren’t aware of. These are our unconscious biases – and they play a big part in the decisions and judgments we make about people. 

Our brains take shortcuts based on our environment and our past experiences, creating subconscious preferences that stop us from being objective. Making snap decisions or wrong judgements about someone’s skills or character on the basis of their race, age, sexuality, gender or disability can lead to discrimination and exclusion and bad decisions around hiring and performance assessment. 

When bias thrives, no one wins. People lose because they’re treated unfairly, and the organisation loses out because it fails to benefit from a diversity of skills, perspectives and experience.   

Unconscious bias training seeks to highlight and mitigate the impact of unconscious biases on our decision-making and behaviour. Our diversity training courses include diverse training materials to suit all types of learners such as videos, case studies, cognitive reflection tests, interactive quizzes, and comprehensive diagnostic tools. 

Unconscious bias, also known as implicit bias, is the subconscious prejudices we all hold that influence our decision-making and behaviour. It’s formed through influences such as our upbringing, personal experiences, the media and exposure to entrenched stereotypes in society. 

Bias can have a hugely negative impact on workplace processes, interactions and the career development of marginalised groups of people. Unconscious bias training courses help to raise awareness of our subconscious prejudices and highlight the ways we can make working life fairer for everyone.  

Tackling and reducing bias leads to happier teams, better decisions, fairer treatment and enhanced performance.

Yes! If it’s done properly.

Crucially, unconscious bias training needs to deliver insights to all participants, along with clear action plans for tackling all types of unconscious biases. Successful training programmes should be focused, relevant, continuous and contextualised.

As well as being professional psychologists with 40 years’ experience at the forefront of diversity and inclusion, our learning focuses on achieving real, measurable behaviour change.

While there are many DEI e-learning solutions out there, none of them get the results we do. We have a completion rate of 83%, compared to an average of just 35% for other providers. We also measure the real-world impact of our programmes, so you can be confident you’ll get the results you’re looking for.

It’s all down to our unique 4-step model of behaviour change and ensuring that learning is engaging, personalised and relevant to learners. Rather than the ‘one size fits all’ approach taken by a lot of DEI training, our platform provides learners with personalised feedback on their strengths and areas for development. It then generates tailored action plans, providing learners with the steps they need to take to be more inclusive and how to apply them in their roles.

Our intelligent DEI analytics then track these changes in real-time so you can see the impact our DEI programmes are having on your business at a touch of a button.

To support real and lasting behaviour change, our Unconscious Bias Programme encourages people to practise new behaviours and skills in their day-to-day role as they progress through the different stages, so they aren’t designed to be completed in one sitting. Time spent ‘in the platform’ is kept to 90-120 minutes, while embedding new behaviours and habits may take a couple of weeks. Within 14-28 days, new behaviours will be living and breathing in your workplace and your people will be feeling the benefits.

Certainly. We can add a welcome video from your CEO or DEI sponsor, giving you the opportunity to provide an overview of your commitment to diversity and inclusion, the work you’re doing and how the digital programme fits within your inclusion strategy. Costs for deeper modifications to a programme or course content are available on request.

It’s simple! There’s no need to install any software because our platform lives online and is easily accessed on laptops, mobiles and tablet devices. We also offer two login access options – single sign-on and standard login with a work email and a newly created password. 

We regularly review and update our learning content so that you can benefit from our research and incorporate the latest thinking and most effective approaches to inclusion. With Kandola+, your learners will always have access to best-in-class unconscious bias resources and guidance that reflects current best practice.
