ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Everyone has biases, and often they can be helpful. It’s how our brains understand the world. Biases can become harmful if we don’t take a step back and check them. In this discussion with Jen Curry, founder of Change Impact, she shares her top 5 tips for making sure your biases aren’t hindering your judgment and how that could affect the workplace.
Highlights Include:
- Acknowledge that you have biases and help others do the same
- Provide continuous learning opportunities
- Build accountability partnerships: check your biases in an interview by always teaming up with a colleague
- Include a commitment to antibias behavior as part of staff expectations
- Make time for self-care – biases come out most when you’re stressed, tired, or even hungry!
