Description
Unmitigated implicit bias can have significant ethical and legal impacts on organizations, as it can affect people’s judgement and behavior when making business or personnel decisions. Organization leaders are discovering that implicit bias can impact individuals and teams and create barriers to productive company culture, performance, and growth.
In this online micro-course, Addressing Implicit Bias in Organizations, you will explore strategies for identifying, assessing, and mitigating implicit bias. Utilizing tools such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT), you will examine your own biases and learn to assess bias in your organization. You will also examine different types of bias and how biased thinking occurs at personal, interpersonal, institutional, cultural, and structural levels. You will then learn strategies for mitigating implicit bias in the workplace.
Simulated interactive dialogues give you the opportunity to test your understanding of key concepts. These simulations put you in the role of advisor to colleagues confronting implicit bias. You will also create an implicit bias audit and action plan to identify implicit bias within an organization and develop a plan to address that bias.
