The UNtold Story™ Bias in Action

Bias can be expressed blatantly or through microaggressions - sometimes called micro-inequities. These are verbal and nonverbal slights, snubs, or insults. They’re often unintentional and subtle and communicate negative messages based on characteristics such as race or gender, age and others.

This new program specifically focuses on bias (both explicit and hidden) and societal stereotypes. Using a short, dramatic example, learners will observe the negative impact bias can have in the workplace and on our co-workers. These biases and societal stereotypes can influence our perception, judgment, language, and actions.

Being aware of common stereotypes can help you challenge negative assumptions.
