What can be done to eliminate unconscious bias? And why should those who express bias want to give it up or change? These are the questions science journalist Jessica Nordell explores in a new Author Talks interview. She notes that unconscious bias, or the subtle, more ambiguous forms of prejudice is more harmful in the workplace than explicit discrimination, and shares why it is so critical to address this. Give it a read and see why tackling this problem benefits everyone. And if you’re interested in learning more about cognitive and organizational biases, be sure to also check out this article by Tim Koller and his coauthors which lays out ways to counter emotions with facts.
