Identifying Unconscious Bias as a Barrier for Diverse Applicants
MODULE ONE lays the groundwork for this three-module program. It defines culture, identifies unconscious bias by providing numerous examples, and offers methods to reduce bias and lift barriers for diverse individuals.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how unconscious bias and cultural misunderstandings can cause qualified diverse applicants to be overlooked or reject your job offer, result in lost customers, or cause those you serve to feel unwelcome.
- Gain insights from diverse individuals to reveal unconscious and systemic bias.
- Explore strategies to reduce bias and build cultural competence to eliminate bias and lift barriers for diverse applicants and others you serve.
Features
- Structured into sequential lessons with reflection prompts throughout each module.
- Presents authentic quotes and real-world examples―gathered from the author’s firsthand research rather than scripted scenarios or fabricated statements.
- Provides a unique approach that helps participants view their actions through the perspectives of diverse individuals―demonstrating how unconscious bias can appear in cross-cultural interactions.
