Navigate ethical complexities by recognizing and mitigating inherent biases; enhance integrity and decision-making in your professional practice.
Biases affect all of us all the time. It is, therefore, important to build our awareness to recognise our biases and their impact on our daily lives to enable us to mitigate their impact. This is particularly relevant when we consider biases’ impact on ethical decision making.
In this session, we will address the following:
• Conscious and unconscious biases.
• Biases and their impediment to ethical behaviour.
• Biases’ impact on ethical thinking and ethical decision making.
• Case study application.
