Bias and Stereotypes

Implicit and explicit biases influence decisions, interactions, and judgments about colleagues. Bias can be unconscious, making it harder to notice and address without deliberate effort.

Microaggressions

Microaggressions are brief, everyday slights or insults that communicate negative messages about a person’s identity. Though often unintentional, they cumulatively harm morale and trust.

Addressing Bias

Awareness training, inclusive language, and structured feedback help reduce bias. Policies should encourage reporting and provide clear correction pathways.

By identifying bias, organizations strengthen psychological safety and performance.
