Unconscious Bias Training, Page 155 Reviews

It was a great training session, where the videos were well structured, easily to understand with additional information as well. It gave a new perspective to the biases, slight wake-up call and solutions how to combat them and be a better human everyday.

Innovative course for a very important but underrated topic.

The training did a good job of explaining the concept of unconscious bias, but I'm not sure how effective the methods it proposed for tackling unconscious bias would actually be- is there any evidence that the ACT method works? It also completely ignored the reasons that people might have unconscious biases about certain groups - which might be due to norms embedded in society and the way in which it operates for certain privileged groups to maintain power (i.e. racism and misogyny are due to white supremacy and patriarchy) and changing these systems is vastly more complex than an individual can deal with by themselves. My main concern is that this type of training, which makes it an individual's responsibility to recognize and challenge their own biases will be completely ineffective, but will allow an organisation to say that they have 'tackled unconscious bias' by staff attending this training, rather than by examining the power structures inherent in the way it operates.There was a particular example which I also felt was inappropriate, about someone thinking a male colleague was 'creepy' and being asked to challenge that as an unconscious bias. Given the prevalence of male on female sexual harassment and violence, maybe women should trust their instincts about a colleague being creepy, rather than try to dismiss it as unconscious bias.

I found this course interesting and helpful. It makes you think more about stereotyping and bias thinking which Is good to focus on.

I've done similar training before and have some background in psychology, so I was already familiar with concepts such as stereotyping, confirmation bias, etc. I really wanted to read the transcripts and move on, but each time I had to wait till the video played out. It was exceptionally frustrating. As I'm sure you know, we can read information far faster than it can be spoken aloud. I realise this kind of training needs to start from an assumption of total ignorance on the part of the learner, but even so, the pace felt very slow. The tests were also comically easy to game, the questions were presented in such a way that there was usually an obviously 'good' answer and a 'bad' one!

It was a very good course and explained sub conscious bias and remedies very well in particular the ACT application. I would just like to suggest that on one page there is the use of the word 'blindly' in a negative context, and given the nature of the course , it might be better to substitute the word for something else. thanks again
