Enforcing Equality: Ep. 11: Beyond Prejudice: How Workplace Bias Mirrors Policing

Host Connie Morris examines how cognitive biases in policing also operate in the workplace, affecting hiring, promotions, perceptions of leadership, and daily culture. She outlines common biases—affinity, performance, confirmation, attribution, and stereotype threat—and presents real-world examples of their impact on marginalized employees.

The episode also offers concise, practical solutions for organizations, including blind hiring, structured interviews, diverse leadership panels, bias training, and data-driven accountability to create more equitable workplaces.
