Unconscious Bias Training for Development Teams
"The most effective unconscious bias training does more than increase awareness of bias and its impact. It teaches attendees to manage their biases, change their behavior, and track their progress."
When considering what training programs may be the best fit for your development and executive teams, we urge you to seek out providers that can help you achieve these goals:
Understand the unconscious bias and its impact on decision-making
Identify key points where biases may be impeding increased gender parity and inclusion in the production lifecycle of content creation and delivery
Expand view of content when screening for gender parity on screen and at script stage
Establish a framework for conscious inclusion that mitigates unconscious bias, stereotype threat and microaggressions and increases belonging and engagement
Discuss and practice new organizational habits that mitigate bias
Create an action plan to take concepts back to team that align common practices to interrupt bias
