Changing implicit biases doesn't change explicit behavior.
Recognising and managing our biases, while knowing that they don't make us bad people, is a healthy attitude to take.
Unconscious bias training has little effect on increasing diversity in workplaces.
Unconscious bias training could actually be harmful, since recognising our biases can result in normalising them, making them more prominent.
