Implicit Bias Training

Drive measurable results with implicit bias training that creates the foundation for your organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion learning journey.
What is Implicit Bias?

Implicit bias is a series of mental shortcuts that our brains make throughout the day. Implicit biases are informed by the things we observe in our daily worlds — television shows, advertisements, books, and common phrases or sayings— and sometimes include stereotypes we aren’t aware of. If we don’t address these implicit biases, our decisions can be influenced by them. Implicit biases can’t be eliminated altogether, but employees can learn how to recognize and manage them, ultimately contributing to a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the possible impacts of implicit bias?
Implicit bias can affect any part of your organization, from hiring to promotions to your employees’ daily experiences.
Is implicit bias preventable?
Implicit bias is based on the way your brain functions, so it can’t be prevented entirely. Instead, it needs to be addressed continuously through intentional efforts to manage those biases.
How do you manage implicit bias?
Putting more structure into your decision-making is the best way to manage biases. We teach a three-part framework: time, intention, and process (TIP).
Is implicit bias and racism the same?
No, implicit bias and racism are not the same thing. However, there is a relationship between the two: implicit bias is informed by stereotypes that are often grounded in racism. If you rely on those stereotypes to make decisions — consciously or unconsciously — you risk perpetuating racism and racist myths.
