What is unconscious bias?
Unconscious biases are associations that you hold subconsciously, and they affect the way you think and feel about others around you. Very often those associations will not be accurate or fair about the specific people you meet and work with.
Unconscious bias affects everyone. It is influenced by your background, personal experiences, societal stereotypes and cultural context. Unconscious bias can influence your attitudes and behaviours towards other people. Also, it can influence decision making in the workplace and contribute to inequality during recruitment, appraisals and promotions.
