A New Way to Combat Bias at Work

Joan Williams, professor and the founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law, says that it's extremely difficult for organizations to rid their workforces of the unconscious biases that can prevent women and minorities from advancing. But it's not so hard for individual managers to interrupt bias within their own teams. She offers specific suggestions for how bosses can shift their approach in four areas: hiring, meetings, assignments, and reviews/promotions. Leaders who employ these practices, she argues, are able to embrace and reap the advantages of diversity, even in the absence of larger organizational directives. Williams is the author of the HBR article "How the Best Bosses Interrupt Bias on Their Teams."

To combat COVID-19, behavioral pitfalls must be addressed

During any crisis, timely, and sometimes life-altering, decisions must be made, requiring an extreme amount of sound judgment under uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic is no different. In a commentary piece for The Lancet, Professor Eldar Shafir from Princeton and Dr. Redelmeier from the Sunnybrook Research Institute review eight behavioral pitfalls that challenge these judgments. Among the issues they explore are fear of the unknown, personal embarrassment and hindsight bias. Shafir and Redelmeier suggest that awareness of these pitfalls might help to maintain the behavior changes needed to fight the pandemic.
