Unconscious Bias: Impact on Talent and Business Performance

Unconscious Bias is a biological mechanism deep in our minds that causes us to prefer those that are like us.

Existing out of our conscious awareness, it can have adverse effects on hiring, performance management, succession planning and diversity initiatives.

This talk will discuss the origins and meaning of unconscious bias, consider its implications and discuss ways to manage your biases.
