What is the Unconscious Bias in the Workplace Webinar (UBWW)?
The UBWW is a voluntary, complimentary, course offered by the Public Service Commission. All staff are encouraged to complete this webinar. It takes approximately one hour and a half, is self-paced and will help public service employees deepen their understanding of unconscious biases by examining the meaning of unconscious bias in the workplace; identifying different types of biases; presenting ways that biases can negatively influence workplace decision-making; and providing different strategies to mitigate unconscious biases at both professional and personal interactions, thus, cultivating an environment of acceptance and appreciation for diverse individuals of all backgrounds, beliefs and experiences.
This webinar is meant to be as self-interactive as possible, thus, you are provided with short quizzes and activities that will help you reflect on how your biases, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs impact on your ability to be objective and inclusive at work. All responses provided are confidential for your own reflection, and they are not saved in Moodle, and will not be disclosed to anyone.
