Unconscious Bias is an inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group. It occurs naturally within our unconscious mind and is not within our control. It can result in unintended consequences.
We are all biased – whether we like it or not.
However, we can help reduce inequality, increase diversity, and close the gender/racial/generational gap by becoming aware of unconscious bias.
