Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: What is Implicit Bias?

When we begin to discuss DEI awareness and training, the concept of Implicit Bias is always attached. When we consider Implicit Bias, we need to know that it is nothing more than our evaluations or beliefs. However, when we consider implicit bias in relation to diversity, equity and inclusion, we need to understand how those unconscious biases can have an impact on our decisions, perceptions, and actions. These can be from incorrect assumptions and stereotypes that we have unconsciously developed.
