How to Reduce Bias in Decision-Making


How can we identify unconscious biases in our hiring and promotion processes?

When possible, use interviews with standardized questions to ensure consistency, and implement blind resume screening to remove names, gender, and other identifying details.


 

What practical steps can we take to ensure fair and objective decision-making in the workplace?

Set clear, measurable criteria for evaluations while encouraging diverse hiring committees to minimize individual bias.


 

How do we create a company culture that encourages accountability and reduces bias over time?

Set clear diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) goals, track progress and make sure to regularly review and update company policies to reflect best practices in fair decision-making.
