Description

Unconscious (or implicit) bias helps people make decisions in their daily lives quickly; however, biases can also create prejudice in favor of - or against - certain things, persons, or even groups. Often without our own realization, people make mental comparisons in ways that could be helpful or, conversely, be considered unfair. Workplaces striving for inclusiveness should be conscious of when and how bias often occurs.
