Heard of unconscious bias, but unsure what it really means, or the impact it has? Join us for this session to help you and your team develop an understanding and awareness of how unconscious bias works, and learn strategies to help reduce its negative impact.
Why train with Tonic? We are a leading EDI training provider, offering courses designed specifically for the arts and creative environments. But crucially, each time you book a course with Tonic you also help support our work driving change across the industry. Win, win.
“I found the trainer very engaging and it was great to have a course led by someone who understands our industry and therefore ties unconscious bias into the environment we know so well.”
Our Unconscious Bias training is aimed at those who are new to the topic or who are keen to refresh/increase their knowledge, and is appropriate to anyone working in the arts and cultural sector. The training provides participants with a clear understanding of what unconscious bias is, the impact it can have on how we make choices and interact with one another, and the role it can play in negatively impacting the diversity of an organisation’s workforce and output.
Participants will explore how unconscious bias can begin to be addressed, including tools and actionable ‘takeaways’ so they can start taking steps to drive positive change immediately.
