Gender Bias 🇬🇧

The belief that there are fundamental and universal differences between the sexes is a popular one. But it’s a belief that lacks scientific backing and one that continues to underpin gender inequality and discrimination, both in the workplace and in society.

This course looks at the nature of gender bias, how it affects both individuals and organisations & what we can do to reduce it.
