Confronting Implicit Bias:
Build Inclusive Workplaces with Our Expert Workshops
We All Have Biases. Your Company Has Them Too.
It’s natural to have biases. They shape the way we make decisions, interact with others, and even influence our workplace culture. The problem is, most of us aren’t even aware of them. In fact, many organizations believe they have an open, inclusive culture—but there are hidden biases that may be holding them back.
The good news?
Recognizing and addressing these biases is the first step toward creating a truly inclusive, equitable workplace.
💡 Implicit bias includes the subconscious feelings, attitudes, prejudices, and stereotypes an individual has developed due to prior influences and imprints throughout their lives.

“We really enjoyed WeAreOpen’s workshop on unconscious biases. We did it with the whole team and despite of the fact that we like to believe that we are very open and inclusive, we learnt that all of us have biases. Since we are more aware of these now, we can hopefully interact with others even better than before. Besides the fact that it was informative, the workshop was also a lot of fun and a team building activity.”
