TrainingBriefs® Understanding & Beating Bias

Bias is something we all have, and by itself, it is neither good nor bad. Bias are the attitudes or stereotypes  that affect our understanding, actions, perceptions and decisions. Unconscious bias refers to a bias that we are unaware of, and which happens outside of our control. It is a bias that happens automatically and is triggered by our brain making quick decisions from data it gathers and then adding meaning to it.
