More and more organisations and industries are talking about bias. Everyone is susceptible to implicit and unconscious bias. These biases are attitudes or stereotypes that unconsciously affect our understanding, actions and decisions, and are activated involuntarily, without awareness or intentional control. Bias influences decisions at all levels of an organisation. It can affect the recruiting processes, workplace atmosphere, and influence decisions made by team members ranging from customer service issues to safety and security issues.
Implicit bias training is growing in both popularity and demand, particularly for police forces as well as customer-facing businesses. However, bias is a complicated phenomenon, and Strategic Security Consultants LLC prides itself on having developed a state-of-the-art evidence-based bias training, encompassing not only implicit bias but cognitive bias as a whole. Our bespoke bias training programmes are specifically designed for your organisation. We make it a point to always draw links between the current research on cognitive bias and real-world examples relevant to your industry. Unlike the typical implicit bias training that focuses primarily on racial and gender issues, our training also highlights other aspects of bias that can help in career development, customer service, productivity and other aspects of everyday life.
Your organisation's bias training should result in more than merely ticking the box to show that your employees have done some type of required implicit bias training. A quality bias training programme should generate interest and dialogue amongst the participants and provide awareness on what bias is. Strategic Security Consultants LLC believes that bias training that's main focus is on implicit bias in race and gender is ineffective. A much better solution is evidence-based bias training that encompasses cognitive bias as a whole.
