Welcome to Unpacking Unconscious Bias in the Workplace! We are often told to "check our biases." But, what does that mean? In this short course, you will take "unpack" unconscious bias by exploring, examining, and identifying bias in an effort to gain a deeper understanding of it. You will peel apart of the layers that make up unconscious bias, then practice ways to mitigate you own biases and disrupt bias in your workplace.
