Unconscious Bias Training for Management Reviews

Food for thought – some biases seem to me to be useful, but apparently not, while others seem blindingly obviously detrimental. But if you can rationalise them then they aren't irrational! Still, I suppose I don't have to agree with everything as we need to encourage diversity.

I do think that the "gender bias" bits should be updated as I don't think it's very inclusive to talk about two genders as people who identify as non-binary might find this upsetting and also uses stereotypes in the depiction of the "woman" with a skirt.

Encourages self-awareness and questioning, which are positive; later on, when it comes to recruitment best-practice, I fear this training may encourage decisions which cement rather than work to eradicate institutional bias and conformity – particularly where it refers to not considering background. Candidate X may have a better degree and more impressive experience than candidate Y, but the training implies it would not be legitimate to consider other factors such as whether Y was a care leaver, or X was privately educated, for example.
