Product Description
Identifying Unconscious Bias as a Potential Barrier for Diverse Applicants
- Learn how unconscious bias and cultural differences can cause qualified diverse applicants to be overlooked or to reject the job offer.
- Gain insights from diverse applicants to reveal unconscious bias and systemic bias in the hiring process.
- Explore methods for developing inclusive and equitable interviewing and hiring practices to eliminate bias and lift barriers for diverse applicants.
This training focuses on diversity in the employment interview process―the critical point that determines whether diverse applicants are brought into an organization or kept out.
Module One lays the groundwork for the full three-module program. It identifies bias by providing numerous examples of unconscious bias, and offers methods to eliminate bias and lift barriers for diverse applicants.

What This Training Is and Is Not
This training is grounded in decades of Lila Kelly’s research and experience in diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and the hiring process. It includes a variety of examples of situations where unconscious bias can exist, both at individual and systemic levels. Most of these examples can exist whether interviewing applicants or meeting new customers, patients, students, or their families.
This training is not just a video. It is designed for the active learner to think more deeply about these issues and involves reading text, watching short videos, and responding to activity questions and quizzes.
This training is not a quick fix. Effective DEI work takes time, and this training is a great starting point that includes ideas and suggestions for continuing to raise awareness, eliminate bias, and make sustainable changes in your hiring process.
