Staffing Helps

Overview: Reignited by the most recent events within the Black Lives Matter movement, employers from all industries are taking a deep look at their bias training initiatives.  Since it is an affliction that plagues every single person regardless of race, and impacts behaviors without people being conscious of it, a science-based approach is becoming the preferred training methodology. As science has provided insight on automatic biases, APA Solutions has introduced training methods to raise awareness of unconscious attitudes and continuously provides their clients with effective tools to mitigate them.
