Use these 5 easy tips for inclusive workplaces today!

1. Slow Down & Reflect: Take time to analyze your decisions instead of relying on gut feelings. Bias often comes from snap judgments, so pausing can help you make more objective choices.

2. Seek Diverse Perspectives: Talk to people with different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints to challenge your assumptions and broaden your understanding.

3. Use Structured Decision-Making Tools: Create and use checklists, scoring systems, or blind evaluations to focus on facts rather than subjective impressions.

4. Identify & Challenge Your Biases: Regularly assess your decision-making patterns and ask yourself if unconscious bias might be influencing your choices.

5. Encourage Accountability: Create spaces where team members feel comfortable questioning decisions and highlighting potential biases.

Inclusive tools and strategies don’t have to cost money! Many can be easily implemented at little to no cost to employers.
