\n

Bias is a prejudice all human beings possess. This prejudice is in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way that\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is considered to be<\/span><\/span>\u00a0unfair.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Implicit bias in the workplace can be a barrier that not only prevents people from working together effectively, but also damages the development of inclusive relationships that foster creative and innovative ideas. These barriers directly impact diversity by affecting both hiring practices and retention rates.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The negative impact on diversity is a serious ongoing issue in the legal profession. Hard evidence supports positive economic impact of a diverse workforce within a company or any organization, including increased revenue and market share, and reduced turnover and legal costs.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
