On this week’s episode of the Dot to Dot podcast Lou and I talk about ‘What unconscious bias training gets wrong and what to do about it’. As awareness of diversity, belonging and inclusion increases so do the number of cognitive bias training courses being run by companies, but are they just tokenism or do they actually change behaviour?
We discuss the psychology of bias, why we have it and some of the impacts. We chat about the biases you may have, what impact they could have and how to really put yourself in the position of what it’s like to have those preferences toward or prejudices against you. We also discuss ways in which companies could approach conscious bias training in order to provide more lasting outcomes on behaviour. And what you can do to help turn down the volume on your own biases.
