Unconscious biases are social stereotypes about certain groups of people that are formed by individuals outside of their own conscious awareness. Left unattended these biases hamper individuals’ and organisations’ capability to build inclusive environments where diversity and

inclusion can thrive.

 

Drawing on the Cultural Intelligence (CQ) framework, CQ Africa’s Unconscious Bias training utilises research-based findings to facilitate the development and implementation of strategies that will disrupt bias in individual lives and organisations. The CQ your Bias workshop (virtual or

in-person) is led by one of CQ Africa’s trainers who are experienced in unconscious bias.

Following participation in the program individuals should be able to apply research-based solutions for improving self-awareness and begin to take the first steps towards developing culturally intelligent strategies to make sure they do not act on biases.
