While implicit bias is not an intentional choice, biases inevitably exist and affect the workplace environment significantly if not addressed. Holding biases unconsciously can be frustrating, let alone understanding how to address such biases. However, during the past two decades of neuroscience and behavioral research, there has been a deepening understanding of the most effective ways to address such biases in the workplace: be it through models, increased awareness, corporate training initiatives or long-term culture changes.
In this paper, research by leading business consultants will be explored to explain the necessity of understanding and addressing implicit bias in the workplace, as well as exploring potential paths of action for your workplace.
