Explore the unseen forces

at play in your workplace

Even the best workplaces aren't immune to biases and noise, some of which are deeply ingrained and go unnoticed. Our comprehensive model is trained to recognise typical yet subtle ways in which your organisation's productivity, morale, and diversity could be impacted. By understanding these issues, you can begin to unravel their influence and take proactive steps to promote a more equitable environment.

See a few example of bias we measure ...

Under-estimating performance

💡 60% of performance reviews for talents in majority group are tied to business or product outcomes vs. 40% of reviews for minority groups

Why does it happen?

We can all be influenced by the most recent data presented, or the data that’s been fed back most loudly. The level of closeness we feel to the talent can also affect how strongly we recognise and acknowledge their impact.

Style in performance, potential or development

💡 66% of women received negative feedback on their personal style, compared to 1% of men

Why does it happen?

Describing women themselves whilst describing men’s actions and outcomes has long roots in our social consciousness. Despite personal style rightly mattering less than results, we can all be affected by the deep history of this bias.

Double-standards in potential

💡 The way we describe leadership and the way we describe majority groups are very similar

Why does it happen?

At its root, this bias is one of sexism. Unconscious expectations that women should behave in a ‘feminine’ way leads to a lack of acceptance of diverse style in women. It can result in unfairness to senior female Talent, and limit the diversity of female leaders at a company.

Last but not least, we found that double standards also happen to minority groups, not just to women!
