Implicit Bias in the Workplace Guide (UC Davis - Box folder)

Access Guide- UC Davis Box folder.
Implicit biases are the underlying attitudes and stereotypes that people unconsciously attribute to another person or group of people, that affect how they understand and engage with those individuals. If you ever find yourself making a decision based on a ‘gut feeling,' you're likely experiencing implicit bias. The best way to prevent yourself from succumbing to unconscious biases is to become aware of them and take action to prevent them in your human resources practices. Doing so will help you build a more diverse and inclusive workplace. For a deeper dive take the UC Implicit Bias Series (online course).
