Length
10 - 40 minutes
Audience
Supervisors and Non-Supervisory Employees
Description
How do our brains process bias?
How and when are we most susceptible to bias thinking?
What are the impacts of bias behavior?
What strategies can we implement to lessen the impact of bias in our everyday interactions?
Research has shown that it is easy to spot bias in others. It’s much more difficult to recognize our own biases. This course focuses on helping employees to recognize their own biases, understand how and when they are most susceptible to relying on their biases and learn which strategies will work best to help prevent and interrupt bias from influencing their workplace interactions.
Learners will have the opportunity to take their awareness and knowledge of Unconscious Bias to the next level. They will engage with real-life scenarios that raise awareness and empathy inspiring them to take steps towards positive behavior changes to create more inclusive cultures.
Administrators have the flexibility to roll out this training as one comprehensive 30-minute employee/40-minute supervisor course OR create a learning journey to deploy 10-minute standalone modules on a timetable that works for their organization.
The 4 modules are:
- Unconscious Bias: Recognizing it in Ourselves and Others
- Unconscious Bias: Moving Beyond Awareness
- Unconscious Bias: The Impact of Microaggressions
- Unconscious Bias: What Supervisors Need to Know
This course is developed towards WCAG compliance.

In my opinion, harassment training is all the same, boring and uninspired. However, after seeing this training program, I am thoroughly impressed. It's current and engaging and nothing like what I've ever seen before.

HR Director, RX Medical
Your attention to detail and follow-up was key in ensuring the rollout of our training was a success. The time you spent going through the demos and explaining the contracts and timelines was appreciated and actually enjoyable. Your continued involvement after the contract was signed is what I valued the most though. I have worked with other companies before where this was not the case. SHIFT definitely stands apart from the rest.
Director, Dun & Bradstreet
I completed the course and really appreciate the quality of the training. The last exercises on real life cases were very close to situations that I would expect to encounter and this was really helpful. We need more of these types of training!

We had a great experience working with SHIFT. They took the time to understand our culture and were very responsive and flexible to make sure that the training met the needs of our organization, both eLearning and on-site. The feedback that we received about the live training from our senior leaders was very positive.
