Overview

Unconscious biases in the workplace are an unpleasant fact of life. Biases occur when individuals make spontaneous judgments about people or situations based on past experiences, culture, background, or exposure to media. These hidden preferences or prejudices can affect nearly every decision an organization makes. Biases can stymie diversity, recruiting and retention efforts and can unknowingly shape an organization’s culture.
