Unconscious biases, often called implicit biases, are stereotypes we hold without realising it. These biases can influence how we perceive and interact with people from various backgrounds, social and economic situations, and genders, even if we don’t intend for them to. In workplaces, unchecked unconscious bias can lead to unfair disadvantages, as people might be judged based on appearances rather than work capabilities.  

Recognising and addressing these biases is crucial for building a fair and inclusive environment. By actively working to understand and challenge our biases, we create a workplace where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive. This benefits employees and enriches the organisation’s overall diversity of perspectives and talents. 

Addressing unconscious bias isn’t just about fairness; it’s about boosting morale and productivity, too. When employees feel valued and respected for who they are, they are more likely to feel motivated and engaged in their work. This is why we invested time and effort in developing transformative EQ VR training modules for our clients.  

Our Unconscious Bias VR experience aims to increase awareness by allowing users to step into the shoes of various characters within a workplace setting and make decisions as those characters, providing insight into the reactions of virtual coworkers. Tackling unconscious bias is a win-win for businesses and employees alike.
