What does it mean to have bias?<\/p>

Bias is an intentional or unintentional preference for or against a specific group or individual. Bias occurs in part as a result of routine mental shortcuts that are made in our brains. Because of this, it\u2019s actually possible to have bias without being fully aware of it, something known as unconscious bias.<\/p>

It\u2019s natural to assume the best intentions of your employees, but beware of labeling all workplace bias as unconscious \u2014 this mindset implies that bias and its effects are out of our control. Unintentional or not, bias in the workplace can still have very real consequences. Inaccurate beliefs can result in unfair treatment of others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
