Purpose & VisionPurpose & Vision Ep4: Kate Glazebrook on Unconscious bias and how new software is creating more diverse workplaces.
When we take a moment it's incredible to think how our unconscious bias plays a significant role in our daily lives. But when it comes to the workplace it's fascinating to look at the implications of this. When you apply for a job, your name, your sex, your school, your age, your initials and more can all have an influence. So, how do we ensure we can create more diversity and with it more successful companies by limiting this bias. Well one of the answers is to use new software, created by Applied that maximises the opportunity...2021-05-2639 min
At Work with The ReadyBrave New Work 59.

The Behaviour Business PodcastThe Behaviour Business Episode 8 - Test Tube ManagementTottenham and England footballer Harry Kane is a global superstar - but as young player he was rejected three times by scouts (including by Tottenham), and nearly quit football altogether.

And why do US businesses spend an estimated $8bn on unconscious bias training every year, despite little to no evidence that it has any...2020-09-131h 03

But in the house of the Kanagawas, Hyperion City's premier crime-family-slash-entertainment-network, nothing is peculiar so long as it's caught on camera. In the eyes of a camera you can sell anything: a mad genius's horrific game show; an ancient death mask that kills whoever disturbs it; and even, strangest of all, a Detective and Special Agent who really think they have a shot at surviving this mess.2016-03-1750 min
