At the ATD 2019 International Conference & EXPO, SkillPath will unveil a new training program that tackles unconscious and implicit bias. The program is designed to deliver effective training that acknowledges the existence and complexities of unconscious bias and teaches individuals how to overcome mindless habits that lead them to use stereotypes and biases.
“Unlike other unconscious bias programs, SkillPath’s training helps learners understand the psychology behind bias,” said Dave Fogleman, Chief Learning Officer of SkillPath. “This assists organizations when taking steps to make workers more aware of naturally occurring unconscious bias and give them tools that ensure the fair treatment and inclusion of all individuals.”
The program features multiple modules to deliver a course configuration that can be tailored to an organization’s needs, including modules for employees and leaders, as well as HR practitioners who want to conduct an organization-wide change related to implicit bias.
The four core modules include:
In addition to the core modules, learners will be presented with two additional training modules on either diversity and inclusion or legal considerations related to implicit bias to produce a full day of learning and development on unconscious bias.
Diversity and inclusion modules include:
Legal considerations related to implicit bias modules include:
SkillPath also has developed a half-day HR practitioner workshop, which examines implicit bias and relevant legal considerations, the fundamentals of inclusion and its role in diversity, and learning techniques for effecting change and integrating implicit bias awareness into the organization.
“While companies remain challenged on how to curb implicit bias and make inclusion the responsibility of every employee, this training program can be a powerful business tool that can shift good intentions to policies and programs that bring about real change,” said Cam Bishop, CEO and President of SkillPath.
