Unconscious Bias
The cost of Unconscious bias in the workplace is projected at $64 billion annually – that’s without associated lawsuit costs or penalties1. 49% of workers said bias is an enduring part of their workplace and happens regularly and routinely2.
Every team member should challenge themselves to understand their own unconscious biases and work to disrupt them. Confronting a colleague’s unconscious bias can be tricky and uncomfortable, but there are ways to increase your chances of success for both of you.
The award-winning A Brighter Tomorrow training series proves that high-impact training can be as entertaining as it is effective. Using WILL’s Choose Your Own Journey® methodology and streaming-quality scenarios, the Brighter Tomorrow series is the simply the best training available to improve workplace culture.
