I am pleased to be a part of this wonderful group!

A message on unexamined bias from the Bowditch Institute for Women's Success
From Lauren Stiller Rikleen of the Bowditch Institute for Women's Success
Fall is generally the season when the evaluation process is fully underway. Too many workplaces, however, fail to address the link between the evaluation process and the unexamined biases we all carry within us.

A more detailed discussion of ways to address unexamined bias can be found in this week's… Continue
