Unexamined bias—that is, systems or individuals who unfairly favor some groups over others—hurts employees and organizations. Bias has many negative effects: companies don’t tap the full talent pool when hiring; employees can’t do their best work; unwanted attrition occurs when people leave due to lack of opportunities.
