What is Unconscious Bias?
Unconscious bias refers to our automatic judgements and assumptions based on past experiences, cultural conditioning, and stereotypes. These biases are often subtle, yet they can profoundly influence workplace decisions, including recruitment, leadership development, customer interactions, and team collaboration.
Whether it’s favouring similar individuals, unintentionally marginalising others, or missing out on diverse perspectives, unconscious bias can create barriers to success – and most leaders aren’t even aware of its impact.
