Creating diversity in the workplace should be an essential goal for all organizations. However, decades of research show that people instinctively classify others by race and gender, and respond to one another based on stereotypes and social norms. In the workplace, implicit biases often lead to inequalities in promotion and pay. There are, however, steps you can take to help eliminate bias and make workplaces more fair. First, conduct an internal study to identify areas of possible bias. Then, establish metrics that will help your organization understand the results of interventions. Finally, make lasting changes that will curb the effects of subconscious prejudices. These “bias interrupters” can be as simple as rewriting job descriptions to remove words that reveal traditional bias, or redesigning the company's promotion process.
