Hidden Bias
Companies can not afford to ignore diversity problems any longer. The most expensive
diversity crises, whether we are measuring in terms of dollars or in terms of other resources, tend to arise because of an
insidious phenomenon called hidden bias. This kind of bias is hidden in the subconscious mind that allows well-meaning
people to make catastrophic errors that adversely affect their organizations, and their own careers, for years or decades. We will be more productive and successful when we focus on helping everyone rise to their highest potential. Build
Your Strengths and the Strengths of Every Person in Your Organization!
According to analysis conducted by a Harvard University-led research team, it
is entirely possible that you and your manager are biased--and that you don't even know it. Such hidden biases can be disastrous for the employees who suffer as a result of them: they also can damage businesses
by leading managers and employees to make flawed business decisions in a number of areas, including hiring, promotion, training
opportunities and project assignments. For HR, the task is clear, but daunting: Help uncover and address such bias before
problems arise.
