Demystifying Bias Understanding Its Roots

To effectively combat bias within any organization, it's crucial to start by demystifying what bias is and where it comes from. Educational sessions that explore the psychology behind bias—its unconscious nature and how societal, cultural, and media influences shape our perceptions—can lay a solid foundation. By making employees aware of the ubiquity and mechanics of bias, organizations can encourage a more mindful consideration of personal prejudices and stereotypes.
