Unconscious Bias: Everyone Has It, But Are You Aware Of It?

Seeing others through different filters. Unconscious bias, everyone has it, but how did this arise? What strengthens it? And…are prejudices always detrimental or do they also have advantages?

  • Background information unconscious bias and the importance of DEI (Diversity, Inclusion & Equity) in awareness biases;
  • The effects of unconscious bias on one’s own actions and those of others;

  • Actions you can take as an individual and as a team/group to raise awareness (practical tools);
  • We conduct open dialogues on this subject, with room for sharing personal stories, insights and tips & tricks.

About the trainers Batsheba White is a Sr. Partnership manager at Refugee Talent Hub, responsible for knowledge sharing and advisory, amongst other things. ‘With unstoppable enthusiasm and energy I try to create an equal playing field for all refugees who want to work in the Netherlands, in collaboration with our involved and committed partners.’ Samina Ahmed is a Project Officer at Refugee Talent Hub. ‘We all have blinders but being open to new perspectives and challenges motivates me to be better.’ That’s why I would like to live in a country where employers see and use the talent of refugees and where they have equal chances in the Dutch labour market.’ About Refugee Talent Hub The Refugee Talent Hub is an employer’s initiative, with more than 50 affiliated employers. Most of them are corporates, such as Accenture, Arcadis, Microsoft, Unilever and TenneT. Refugee Talent Hub bridges the gap between employers and refugees with paid jobs as the final goal. The dream of Refugee Talent Hub is a country in which employers see the talents of refugees, and refugees therefore have equal chances in the Dutch labor market. Refugee Talent Hub organizes activities and programs where meeting each other face to face plays an important role.
