Unconscious Bias: Become Aware of and Learn to Limit the Impact of Bias
Unconscious Bias: Become Aware of and Learn to Limit the Impact of Bias
Bias impacts everything. From the decisions we make, to the way we respond in certain situations, to how we see and treat others, our myriad of biases are often at the helm, even at work. And the scariest part is many of us have no idea.
Each and every one of us has bias. If you have a brain, you have bias. And that bias, if unmanaged, presents opportunity for us to do true harm to those around us, ourselves, and our organizations. It can create non-inclusive, even hostile work environments that yield decreased team performance, turnover, and less than desired business results.
