Course Description

Tangent at Trinity – Masterclass in Diversity and Unconscious Bias

Trinity College Dublin



Unconscious bias at work can have an impact on recruitment, promotion, staff development and even staff retention. It can lead to a less diverse workforce. It is vital that employees understand how unconscious bias impacts decision making at an individual and organisational to promote more inclusive workplaces.

Including a variety of perspectives in our lives and creating equal opportunities for everyone can be challenging. Practising inclusive decision making is difficult due to attitudes held unconsciously that impact how individuals think about and behave towards others. As organisations face unprecedented challenges, evidence indicates that diversity enhances performance across innovation and adaptation.

In this masterclass, you will explore what diversity means in a modern work environment. You will examine evidence that highlights the impact of unconscious bias in order to build a more inclusive organisation. You will explore inclusive decision-making and learn how to mitigate the harmful impact of unconscious bias.

The programme is designed for everyone who would like to learn about unconscious bias. It is suitable for those working in the private and public sector and those working in voluntary and community organisations who wish to create an inclusive working environment.

The masterclass is offered in two formats:

  • Taster session
  • Masterclass

The taster session introduces you to the ideas of diversity and unconscious bias, and how these can influence decision making. It’s a unique opportunity to become familiar with the concepts and identify how these relate to your workplace.

The masterclass offers a more comprehensive understanding of the above. It explores these concepts from a range of contexts, introducing tools to help identify bias in decision making and the impact on individuals, teams and organisations.

Completion of the taster session is not a pre-requisite for masterclass participation.

On completion of the taster session, you will be able to:

  • Understand the idea of diversity and inclusion within an organisational context.
  • Appreciate how bias may be impacting decision making in your organisation.

On completion of the taster session a Certificate of Attendance will be provided.

On completion of the masterclass, you will be able to:

  • Identify bias in your own decision making and develop management strategies.
  • Recognise the role unconscious bias plays in modern work environments.
  • Apply techniques to lessen the influence of bias on individuals and teams.
  • Develop a strategy for building a more inclusive and diverse workplace culture.
