FAQ

  • Can’t I just use off-the-shelf generic training?

    Generic training rings hollow with corporate workers. It’s seen as less valuable and it’s more difficult for them to relate to generic content. Customized programs that reflect your organization’s operations, culture, brand and geographic footprint is more relatable and is more likely to influence a learner’s behavior. Plus, a well-developed learning program is a chance for you to showcase your security department and raise awareness of the great work you do. An e-learning might be the only opportunity for your organization to interface with your security department so you want it to be good!

  • But my organization already offers implicit or unconscious bias training. Can’t I just use that to educate my security professionals?

    This type of implicit bias training, usually produced by an HR or diversity and inclusion department is focused on the effects of implicit bias in situations such as hiring, promotions,and general workplace dynamics, etc. Security professionals have a whole different set of priorities and objectives that are different from the average worker at your organization. They are the ones determining who is a threat, potentially detaining, questioning and investigating others. Those situations are so critical to your business’ operations, reputation and overall safety that they deserve a specialized course focused on what security professionals deal with on a daily basis.

  • Will this training stop me or my security colleagues from having implicit bias?

    Nobody can stop implicit bias entirely. Our associations about people are so deeply rooted in ourselves that it’s very difficult to dislodge them. However, when we become aware of how and why we have bias and how they can influence our work in security, we can take a step back and think about our associations and perceptions are coloring our decisions before we decide to act.

  • But, I’m not a racist or a sexist. Why would I need to learn about this?

    All people have implicit bias and that doesn’t mean that you are a racist or a bad person at all. The reason why implicit biases are so powerful, is that we don’t even realize how they influence us. This is why it’s such a problem. Everyone needs to understand how and why this happens so we can think about the “why” we came to a conclusion about another person. It is then that we can begin to mitigate these unwanted biases.
