Adam Grant (2021) discusses how to bust bias by identifying a unique approach to training. Employers should:
Plan and access your organization. Gather and analyze data.
Build habits with your organization.
Emphasize with your employees what is in your control rather than what they cannot control.
Include all levels of employees, especially management.
Appoint a diversity manager.
Be committed. This might take multiple years.
