implicit bias training
Awareness programs for stereotypes
Implicit bias training is workplace education designed to make people aware of unconscious prejudices that may affect their decisions and behavior.
The training typically involves exercises to reveal hidden associations—often around race, gender, or age—and strategies to counteract them.
Common in corporate and institutional settings: All new hires complete implicit bias training.
The effectiveness of such programs remains debated, with critics arguing that awareness doesn't reliably change behavior.
