Introduction
In any organization, decisions about policy, enforcement, and everyday actions are influenced by unconscious biases. Decision-making hygiene refers to a set of deliberate practices that reduce bias and promote fairness.
By applying structured processes, teams create a transparent trail that others can review. This improves accountability and reduces the risk of harassment and inequitable outcomes.
Key practices include keeping decision logs, using checklists, assembling diverse review panels, and reserving time for reflection and data review.
This lesson outlines how to implement these hygiene practices in the contexts of harassment prevention, policy enforcement, and daily operations.
Learning outcomes: understand the concept, identify bias patterns, and begin applying basic hygiene steps.
