What steps should companies take to reduce unconscious bias in hiring and promotion decisions?
user
Companies can reduce unconscious bias in hiring and promotion decisions by instituting practices such as blind CV evaluation, structured job interviews, gender-neutral language in job postings and advertisements, implementing mentoring and sponsorship programs, introducing anonymous data tools (to analyze decision-making process), providing training on unconscious bias to employees. Moreover, companies should strive to recruit from various backgrounds and create an inclusive atmosphere where employees feel accepted and respected regardless of their identity. By putting efforts into reducing unconscious bias companies can ensure a more equitable hiring process with greater potential for employee success.

Companies should take active steps to identify and address unconscious bias in their hiring and promotion decisions. Recruit from diverse sources, such as nontraditional job sites or colleges and universities with more diverse student populations. Set standards of evaluation that evaluate objectively all qualified candidates by providing objective criteria for performance reviews. Implement targeted recruitment programs when attempting to achieve diversity goals, or conduct anonymous hiring sessions so that the identity of the applicant is not a factor in the decision-making process. Finally, provide ongoing training opportuniarities on recognizing implicit bias.
