We use the term “bias” to describe when we have a preference for, or an aversion to, a person or group of people, instead of being neutral. “Implicit” means we aren’t aware of these thoughts or feelings, or that we have mistaken their true nature. Implicit biases can lead to negative perceptions about someone based on irrelevant characteristics, like their race or gender. We all have implicit bias. The trick is learning to identify them and knowing what to do about them. In this microlearning module, we’ll discuss how we can begin to identify our implicit biases. We’ll also learn how to begin unlearning our own implicit biases, both as individuals and as organizations.

Cultivating a healthy workplace environment is conducive to success, not only for the organization but also for individual employees. Employees should feel recognized for their contributions, have equal opportunities for advancement, and feel comfortable and accepted for who they are, regardless of race, gender, and all other defining characteristics. It is the responsibility of leadership to foster a welcoming workplace by implementing a culture of diversity, inclusion, and belonging that is ingrained within the organization, not just as a policy or program. This course will cover how diversity, inclusion, and belonging can be created and promoted in the workplace.
