A Thought Experiment Q: Are these table tops the same size and shape?
20
A: Yes
This illusion was created by Roger Shepard, Professor of Psychology at Stanford University
Your brain cannot always be trusted to tell the truth.

What is Unconscious Bias? Unconscious bias refers to errors in judgment that cause people to make choices that unwittingly favor one group over another.
Unconscious Bias:
• is a normal part of decision-making
• is created and reinforced by our environments and experiences
• is how our unconscious minds fills in gaps when faced with incomplete data
• often occurs when decisions are being made quickly, with too much information to process thoroughly
• can influence everything from product decisions to interactions between coworkers
21
PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
Impacts of Unconscious Bias
• We must learn how unconscious bias can affect our perceptions, decisions, and interactions
• Areas where unconscious bias can play an important role:
- Hiring
- Performance evaluations
- Promotions
• We must raise awareness about unconscious bias and take action to reduce it
22

Case Study: Unconscious Bias in Orchestral Auditions
• Top 5 U.S. orchestras were about 10% female in the early 1970’s
• Blind auditions became an industry standard in the late 70’s and early 1980’s
• By the mid-1990’s the Top 5 orchestras were composed of approximately 30% female
• The use of screens make women 50% more likely to advance to audition finals to compete for orchestra positions

Key Messages
• Unconscious biases are universal Everyone has them to some extent, regardless of their background
It does not mean that a person is racist, sexist, ageist, etc.
• Individuals can harbor biases against their own group Superiority or inferiority
Can harbor biases that contradict their consciously-held beliefs
• Most common unconscious biases Gender and ethnicity
Shown by researchers to affect decision-making in HR processes
25
PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
Key Messages
• Unconscious bias is not specific to the U.S. It appears wherever there are majority and identifiable minority groups
• Awareness can reduce the effects of unconscious bias However, some biases are deeply rooted and can be difficult to eliminate
Post-process evaluations may be useful in identifying this type of bias
26
PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
What can you do to mitigate unconscious bias?
• Determine your own unconscious biases Take Implicit Association Test (IAT) online from Harvard University
Encourage your peers and direct reports to do the same
• Begin every decision-making processes with education Inform decision-makers are the role unconscious bias may play in the process
Use Verna Myers TED Talk on Unconscious Bias to educate colleagues
• Use specific criteria to evaluate all candidates equally and fairly
Criteria should be skills and performance-based
27
PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT PBWC SENIOR LEADERSHIP SUMMIT
What can you do to mitigate unconscious bias?
• Are you evaluating candidates from an “outsider’s” perspective?
Would they agree with your logic?
• Are you selecting people with similar backgrounds and experiences as you?
Why are you rejecting people who are different?
Are you using skills and performance-based criteria?
WE MUST COMMIT TO CHANGE!
