TrainingBriefs® Explicit Bias

Understanding Bias: Implicit, Conscious & Workplace Stereotypes

Explicit bias refers to the attitudes and beliefs we have about a person or group of people on a conscious level. We know these biases exist. We are conscious of them. When people perceive their biases to be valid, they are more likely to justify unfair treatment – which has negative impacts on the target of the bias as well as the entire organization.

Additional Information

Most of the time, explicit biases - and their expression - arise as the direct result of a perceived threat. Often, when people feel threatened, they are more likely to draw group boundaries to distinguish themselves from others. This engaging course goes beyond theoretical concepts by exploring explicit bias (the conscious attitudes and beliefs we hold) and provides actionable strategies to combat prejudice through tools like the M.E.E.T. Model. Discover how double standards, perceived threats, and preconceived notions impact workplace dynamics and learn techniques to foster a culture of understanding and inclusion.
