Letting unconscious bias go unchecked could both lead to increasing covert or subliminal bullying in the workplace
Our series of short videos on unconscious bias shine a light on how it deeply impacts our daily working lives and the decisions we make.
From a training perspective, managers and employees should be aware that letting unconscious bias go unchecked could both lead to increasing covert or subliminal bullying in the workplace. It can also impact the allocation of work projects, the provision of developmental opportunities for certain people and the exclusion of promotions for suitable candidates.
Unconscious bias-based decision-making also undermines the business efforts of many organisations to reap the rewards of having a diverse workforce. Unconscious bias is also an essential step in the journey towards a culture of inclusive leadership in any organisation.
Alongside the rise in awareness of unconscious bias, video has become the one of the most popular media on the internet. Video is fast becoming our preferred learning method, whether we’re finding out how to DIY something on YouTube or exploring a new subject on TED Talks.
Videos are also growing in popularity in corporate training, with bespoke video eLearning courses, such as our diversity refresher that uses character-led video scenarios to engage learners and stimulate discussion.
The short character-led videos on unconscious bias we feature below introduce a range of topics related to unconscious bias – including recruitment, promotion, leadership, and how we conduct our creative teamwork.
Below are descriptions of all of our unconscious bias training videos, as well as how you can integrate these clips into a bespoke eLearning training programme for your company. For example, our clients can select from these videos to add into our courses, customise them further, and enrich the learning experience.

This video introduces how unconscious bias affects our ability to make the best decisions when it comes to adding someone to your team or project.

How unconscious bias affects who we choose as leaders
In this unconscious bias training video, we consider a scenario that allows us to explore the ways unconscious bias can affect who we choose as leaders and how someone’s personal views of her colleagues could have an effect on their long-term prospects.
