BUSINESS IMPACT OF THE UNCONSCIOUS
Unconscious bias can have widespread influence in organisations, with implications on everything from diversity to decision-making. Whether people realise it or not, everyone makes judgments about others based on stereotypes. While people’s actions based on such unconscious biases aren’t typically malicious, they can negatively impact a business on many levels, chiefly among them is their ability to hire diverse talent.
