Research shows that stereotypes can introduce errors in managers’ decision making about talent throughout the employee life cycle. While most people agree that bias exists in the abstract, many cannot see their own role in enacting bias or how it functions in their organization. Further, resistance to the idea that bias exists at all is what we call “bias backlash.”
To address these issues, the Stanford University VMware Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab has produced this methodological framework to diagnose, address, and overcome bias in the workplace.
