We have seen evidence which displays why multiculturalism and diversity contribute to a successful and creative work dynamic. However, each of us carry a set of biases that influence our decision making, and often lead us to choose candidates for our group who are similar to ourselves. As senior management, recruiter, or anyone involved in the hiring process it is imperative that your decisions address a person’s potential for success, rather than a superficial or personal characteristic. Creating awareness of bias and taking research-based and practical steps toward weakening the power of bias, has been proven to increase inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.
