Unconscious Biases

Description

Unconscious bias can have real consequences on employee experience, and over time, it hinders the organisations ability to execute its business. Yet, talking about issues of race, diversity and prejudice in the workplace can be uncomfortable. From a risk vs. reward perspective, business-people typically avoid these topics thinking we could do more harm than good. However, the outpouring of grief, anger and action after recent, high-profile tragedies are pushing us to be more open about our biases.
