UC Managing Implicit Bias series
UC Managing Implicit Bias series
The UC Managing Implicit Bias Series is a six-course online training series designed to increase awareness of implicit bias, reinforce the University’s commitment to anti-discrimination, and support inclusive workplace practices. The series aligns with efforts to foster a respectful, inclusive, and effective workplace environment and is intended to supplement existing location programs and resources.
Employees may complete individual courses, or the entire series. Those who complete all six online courses through the UC Learning Center will receive the UC Systemwide HR Managing Implicit Bias Certificate.
The series contains the following six self-paced, online interactive courses. Each course is 15 to 20 minutes in length.
The courses are as follows:
Understand how the brain uses shortcuts and schema to process stimuli. Learn how attitudes, stereotypes and biases form. Differentiate between explicit and implicit biases.
Explore ways in which implicit bias can influence our actions and how that influence can have unwanted, real-world repercussions.
Assessing your implicit biases is the first step in managing their influence. Recognize situations wherein you are more prone to the influence of bias. Recognize external factors that make you more prone to the influence of bias. Evaluate whether you are being influenced by bias.
Understand common forms of bias so you can better detect when they occur.
Learn ways to minimize the influence of implicit bias through mindfulness and conscious de-biasing strategies.
Develop and implement systematic procedures and frameworks that mitigate and prevent bias throughout the hiring process.
