• Set realistic expectations. 

4aising e1pectations that unconscious bias training will

eliminate all bias would be disingenuous. The goal is to

be conscious of our biases and not to pretend to be blind

to differences that e1ist.

• Provide the training in-person.

  This topic re5uires interaction! trust! and the opportunity

for people to meet in a safe environment. &nconsciousbias training is not appropriate for elearning solutions or

webinars! even though they might seem more cost

effective.

• Make the training real.

&nconscious bias training is most effective when focusing on real

situations! such as reviewing resumes! conducting interviews! orresponding to customers. The training should help to identify those
