A Research Paper By Jen Harris
Bias Coach, UNITED KINGDOM
The evidence of pervasive inequality in the workplace is well acknowledged, and this paper explores how to address bias to positively impact DEIB in the workplace. The focus of the majority of studies is the widespread institutional discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation, gender, and race. Beyond the moral need that everyone is treated equally and with a sense of safety, why should we worry about DEIB at our workplace? The effects of this can be disastrous for people, ranging from exclusion to harassment and anything in between. Numerous studies concentrating on hiring decisions might be discovered to provide wider evidence for the detrimental effects of bias on DEIB in the workplace. A complete 360-degree approach to each individual is required to address bias in the workplace.
