Unconscious Bias training (also known as Implicit Bias training) can change behaviors. We all instinctively harbor biases based on our experiences, beliefs, values, and conditioning. Developing an understanding of how to recognize and address our unconscious biases is essential for creating and maintaining a fair, respectful, and inclusive workplace. Unconscious perceptions influence the way that we evaluate and select people for teams, relationships, responsibilities, or career advancement opportunities. These daily decisions impact one group in a positive way and another group in a negative way. With focused training and focused individual planning, it is possible to curb and manage personal biases. MTS training provides strategies and tools to minimize the impact of bias on workplace relationships, hiring, promotion, and other career related decisions. Unconscious bias is not only related to race and gender but also to age, religion, sexuality, and anyone who is different from “us.” The good news is that biased associations can be gradually unlearned and replaced with nonbiased ones.
