Company-wide Unconscious Bias Training

A key part of putting KingSett’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy into action was for all employees to have mandatory training on unconscious bias. The objective of the training was to instill a strong knowledge of unconscious bias through three perspectives: systemic bias, through the individual, and through the organization. Employees were educated on unconscious bias in a safe, non-confrontational environment, taught to develop workplace appropriate strategies supporting employees to identify and eradicate bias, and empower participants to analyze different axes of intersectionality (e.g. race, gender, economic status, etc.). The results from the training provided employees with concrete steps to change behavior and overcome unconscious bias within the company.
