Unconscious Bias Training: From Awareness to Action

This Unconscious Bias Training moves beyond awareness. It helps staff and managers recognise how bias shows up at work — and what they can do about it. The session focuses on real-world decisions like hiring, meetings, communication, and collaboration. 

It’s designed to challenge gently, not shame. Participants leave with practical tools, greater self-awareness, and the confidence to act more fairly.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Unconscious bias affects how we see people — and how we treat them. It’s often unintentional, but it still has real consequences. 

This Unconscious Bias Training helps teams understand what bias is, where it comes from, and how to reduce its impact. You’ll explore real scenarios and learn how to interrupt bias in practical ways — not just in policies, but in everyday moments like feedback, meetings, and decision-making. 

It’s an honest, constructive session that builds understanding without judgment.

Training Format and Duration

Our Unconscious Bias Training is:

  • Respectful, clear, and engaging

  • Grounded in real-life workplace scenarios

  • Adapted to your team and organisational context

This is a 3-hour session only, designed to keep the focus sharp and the learning accessible. Bias is a complex topic, but it’s best tackled through clarity and action. A focused half-day session gives enough time to explore key concepts, understand the impact of bias at work, and introduce practical ways to challenge it — without overwhelming learners or diluting the message.

 

We highly recommend in-person delivery. Discussing bias requires trust and relevance. When sessions are held in-house, they can be tailored to your specific culture, values, and examples — creating more meaningful dialogue and greater impact.

  • Delivered in-person across Scotland (preferred) or online if needed
  • Recommended group size: 8–12 participants
