Bias: Prejudice in favor or against one thing over another

We've been seeing a lot of "content" regarding unconscious bias lately. We attended a presentation at Training 2016 in Orlando on the topic, given by a woman who trains judges to be aware of their unconscious bias. There was a recent article in Training Magazine on the topic, which warned: "The implications of unconscious bias are that the best and brightest talent often is made to feel unwelcome, invisible, and not important to the success of the organization. This results in employees who are detached and likely to take their talents elsewhere."

And we have discovered a fascinating free resource - offered by Harvard - of various inventories that help you think about and uncover your unconscious bias'. This resource would be a great launching pad for a conversation on the topic at your own company. Check it out: Project Implicit.
