Understanding bias
Bias can be conscious or unconscious and affects judgments, decisions, and interactions. Stereotypes simplify complex people into fixed categories, which can harm inclusion.
Microaggressions
Microaggressions are subtle comments or actions that undermine belonging. Recognize patterns and choose respectful responses that educate rather than punish.
Countering bias
Pause, reflect, and gather diverse inputs. Implement standard processes for hiring, promotions, and task assignments to reduce bias.
