Unconscious Bias

Unconscious biases are deeply ingrained prejudices that everyone has, and they significantly hinder diversity in executive leadership. These biases can affect hiring, promotion, and evaluation processes, often favoring those who match the current leadership's demographic profile. To overcome them, organizations can implement comprehensive bias training for all employees, especially those in hiring or decision-making positions. Also, using structured interviews and standardized evaluation criteria for promotions can help minimize the impact of these biases.
