E-Learning
The General Course takes participants through three 30-minute units of impactful content based on industry-leading research and evidence. The impact of this course was recently studied as part of the Victorian Government’s two-year Recruit Smarter project, which found that it increased participants’ confidence and intentions to engage in diversity and inclusion behaviours and that the strength of this confidence and intention correlated to an increase in diversity and inclusion behaviours back on the job.
What does it cover?
- In Unit 1, participants are introduced to the concepts of unconscious knowledge and unconscious bias, where does it come from and the impacts of unconscious bias.
- In Unit 2, you’ll discover the different types of biases and how they can impact on business and decisions. Part of this e-learning course also includes the Unconscious Knowledge Assessment and detailed feedback of your results.
- Unit 3 provides strategies for reducing bias in the workplace. It allows you to identify bias hotspots, to understand strategies at the individual, team and organisational levels, and provides an action plan template.
Teachers make many judgements and assessments that impact on the performance of their students. Unconscious biases have been shown to be a source of inaccurate judgements and assessments of students – from early learning setting to university level. Through research based examples, such as the disproportionate number of minority students receiving suspensions and expulsion from school, to how even the positive stereotypes of a model minority student can mean they incur a performance penalty when their assessments fall below a teacher’s expectations, the training is designed specifically for educators and the challenges they face in the professional setting. This 35-min module equips teachers with greater awareness of how unconscious bias impacts their thinking, provides opportunities to reflect on key ‘hot spots’ of bias and sets out clear practical strategies to mitigate unconscious bias in their decision making.
What does it cover?
- What is unconscious knowledge & bias, and how does it affect teachers’ assessments and judgments of students
- Identifying bias hotspots within the learning environment
- Research based examples of unconscious bias relevant to the education setting
- Explaining the strategies for reducing bias in assessment of students
- Mitigation strategies specifically targeting the professional judgements made by teachers
The validity of recruitment and selection processes is critical to the successful functioning of organisations, but there is strong evidence that these processes are highly susceptible to a range of unconscious biases that undermine their validity. The purpose of this 45-minute module is to make you aware of how our unconscious bias can impact the end-to-end processes from branding and advertising through to making the offer and induction, and to provide you with a range of strategies you can apply on the job and when recruiting and selecting for tasks and roles.
What does it cover?
- What is unconscious knowledge & bias, and how does it affect the selection process
- Identifying bias hotspots within selection processes
- Explaining the strategies for reducing bias in selection decisions within the framework of the end-to-end processes involved
- Grounded examples of unconscious bias and mitigation strategies in action
Leaders make many judgements and decisions that impact on the performance of organisations as well as their personal effectiveness. Unconscious biases have been shown to be a source of poor judgements and decisions. This 35-min module equips leaders to not only mitigate unconscious bias in their decision making but also to minimise the effect of unconscious bias on the decisions and productivity of their teams.
What does it cover?
- What is unconscious knowledge & bias, and how does it affect the leadership decisions
- Identifying bias hotspots within leadership processes
- Explaining the strategies for reducing bias in leadership decisions within the framework of the conditions and mechanisms for effective inclusive leadership
- Grounded examples of unconscious bias and mitigation strategies in action
