In a world where training can sometimes feel like just checking a box and finding quick solutions, we at Breath Beings are committed to making inclusion discussions more meaningful.
We're dedicated to real change, partnering with leaders and organizations ready to work hard. Our learning programs, which include unconscious bias training for employees, use special methods to make conversations around bias relatable.
Understanding unconscious bias is vital as it unveils hidden prejudices, fostering self-awareness. This awareness is the first step toward creating inclusive environments and mitigating the impact of biased decision-making.
Identifying bias roots enlightens, facilitating organizations to design and action targeted interventions. Understanding personal identities and experiences clarifies sources of biases.
Recognizing unconscious bias is important for companies. It helps make fair decisions, and boosts diversity of thought. This fosters innovation and benefits employees as employees feel seen and heard. Consider implementing unconscious bias training in the workplace to foster belonging.
Start by raising awareness. Then, adopt diverse hiring practices, offer unconscious bias workshops, establish inclusive policies, and encourage open conversations. These steps promote a culture of accountability and ongoing learning.
Bias is when we favor or dislike something or someone over another. It's a tendency to think a certain way about a group or person. Consider including corporate unconscious bias training to build awareness around different types of biases.
Well, not really! Bias is what makes us choose and we all have biases. Sometimes, our biases make us act unfairly and we end up favoring a few over the rest. This is when bias becomes problematic and becomes a barrier to creating Inclusive environments.
Simply put, it's an automatically activated brain process that affects how people think. The conditioned brain acts out of patterns, prejudices, and attitudes.

Individual Strategies to Address
Unconscious Bias Training in the Workplace
Promote self-awareness by using tools like the Implicit Association Test to recognize biases. Understanding bias as a normal aspect of cognition fosters informed and open self-reflection (Burgess, 2007).
Understand how biases affect your actions. Learn strategies to adjust your behavior through discussions and training sessions, like unconscious bias training. This helps you become aware of yourself better and treat others fairly.
Encourage discussions, especially with those from diverse backgrounds. Sharing biases in a safe space fosters understanding. This open dialogue builds cultural awareness, creating a more inclusive environment.
Embrace mindfulness in addressing biases. Being present in discussions and self-reflection enhances awareness. Incorporate mindfulness techniques learned in training sessions to cultivate a more mindful and inclusive workplace.
Facilitate exposure to diverse perspectives by expanding your circle to diverse people. Evidence supports that unconscious bias training providers reduce bias impact. Actively engaging with diverse groups fosters a richer understanding and appreciation of differences (Carnes, 2012).
Identifying Different
Unconscious Bias Workshops
Our minds pick up patterns from culture, media, and our experiences. The more we're exposed to something, the more we see it as normal. Changing these patterns takes effort. Shouldn't we question the status quo? Here are common workplace biases:
We gravitate towards people who are like us. We are wary of people who are different from us. Similarity Bias is also a form of affinity for those who are very similar to us.
Gender bias occurs when we favor one person over another because of their gender. We often stereotype men, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals, assuming they are or aren't suitable for certain roles based solely on their gender.
Maternity bias assumes that women lose dedication to their careers after having children, doubt their ability to handle complex tasks and expect them to leave their jobs. Consider implementing unconscious bias training for employees to address these biases.
When we tend to have stereotypical views and perceptions about people based on their age, we end up boxing people and their potential. This can make people feel excluded. In today's workplace, four generations come together to collaborate.
Confirmation bias makes us favor information that supports our existing beliefs. We tend to dismiss conflicting data, especially if we feel superior, making it hard to consider other options objectively in our decisions.
Illusory superiority happens when we think we're better than others, overestimating our own abilities while underestimating those of others.
