What is Unconscious Bias?
Unconscious bias means that “all humans are wired to function on auto-pilot when necessary and as a result, we sometimes have to make assumptions.” While these assumptions are usually harmless, they can also be damaging or dangerous to an individual. At their worst, unconscious biases impact workplace diversity and prevent the most qualified individuals from climbing the corporate ladder.
