Also known as implicit biases, these are the mental shortcuts all our brains make when we’re navigating the day. These shortcuts are based on what we’ve observed in the world around us: the advertisements we’ve seen, the television we watch, the books we’ve read, and the common sayings we’ve heard throughout our lives. And unfortunately, those observations often include stereotypes. If we aren’t aware of — or don’t manage these unconscious biases, we’re likely to make decisions that are influenced by them. While we can’t eliminate it altogether, helping employees learn how to manage unconscious bias is critical to building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.
Whether you’re a global, distributed workforce or a growing startup, Paradigm can help you meet your DEI goals. We know what really drives change, and have designed an approach that both raises awareness and motivates your employees to adjust their behaviors.
