episode 6: How to Really Deal with Implicit Bias at Work with Laura Huang


Implicit Bias

Implicit bias is an uphill battle for those laboring under its burden and for organizations trying to eliminate it.

You may have experienced it yourself. It might even be the reason you started your own business. No matter how hard you worked, no matter how great your ideas, your objective skills, or even your past successes – you’re passed over, you lose out to someone else less qualified and in your gut you know there is some type of bias at work. It may not rise to the level of being illegal and even if it did you might not want to take legal action for a variety of reasons. BUT in your heart you know you’ve been unfairly disadvantaged.

What can you do? How can you turn that adversity into and advantage? Into your super power? Harvard professor and award winning researcher, Dr Laura Huang shares her insights and explains how.

What You’ll Discover About Implicit Bias in the Workplace:

  • The difference between implicit bias, unconscious bias, and systemic bias.
  • The multiple forms of privilege in the workplace.
  • The problem with traditional anti-bias training.
  • How the myth of meritocracy muddies the water.
  • How management can empower employees to find their strengths and advance the organization
  • And much more.
