This talk seeks to move the debate on diversity beyond gender ratios and women-friendly policies. While “top-down” mandates that to have an equitable workplace are necessary, businesses and institutes can benefit from understanding the barriers to diversity.
Unconscious bias in the hiring process, affinity bias in most recruitments, stereotyping - these implicit human fallacies are the some of the reasons for the skewed gender rations.
The presentation will highlight the necessity of leveraging the latest scientific thinking in behavioural economics, cognitive science and sociology towards organizational change. The talk will emphasise the benefits of understanding and overcoming implicit bias in the Indian context, a deeper knowledge can help in making the workplace more equitable. |
