Unconscious Bias training
hi there I co-wrote and built this course on edX. Unconscious Bias From Awareness to Action: https://www.edx.org/course/unconscious-bias-from-awareness-to-action-2
I work in D&I and we feel that unconscious bias training can actually do more harm than good. There can be a backlash unless it's more about a general we all have biases (not asking people to identify their own bias) and then helping build habits that help people mitigate the impact of bias on decision making. Not sure that is helpful?? Now in Rise, I focus on covering just one type of bias at a time (Affinity Bias): what it is, what is it's impact in the workplace and then teach a skill and have the learner practice the skill to mitigate its impact.
Amelia, are you willing to share your Rise courses? My current project is Unconscious Bias in the Hiring and Interviewing process. But I would love to make a series like you, with different topics.
