Despite best efforts, addressing bias can be challenging. Some of the common challenges include:
- Resistance to Change: Employees and leaders may resist changes to long-standing practices and attitudes. - Unconscious Bias: Unconscious biases are, by definition, difficult to recognize and address. - Lack of Resources: Smaller organizations may lack the resources to implement comprehensive bias reduction programs. - Measurement Difficulties: Measuring the effectiveness of bias reduction initiatives can be complex and may require sophisticated tools and analytics.
