Target Audience: Managers and those involved in recruitment and promotion panels
This half day session will explore the way our brains process information and make shortcuts and assumptions on our behalf, without us even noticing.
It will look at areas which create and exacerbate those short-cuts and assumptions including our innate preferences for certain people and information, cultural environment, personal experiences and background.
By the end of the session, attendees will:
- Be aware of the brains processing short cuts and how that processing impacts on our behaviours and decision making
- Understand the how those short cuts and assumptions are created and exacerbated
- Be more aware of strategies to manage our unconscious biases and make better decisions
