ADDRESS UNCONSCIOUS BIAS YOUR EMPLOYEES’ NETWORKS
Challenge
A client turned to AVA to assess the existence of an unconscious bias in the composition of its employees’ networks that could create inequalities in the career opportunity of men and women.
Insights
HOW4 traced the working relationships of each employee. This allowed to:
- Get the ”broad picture” of men and women relationships in the company
- identify minority groups with potential inclusion issues
- Understand managers’ attitudes towards diversity (gender, nationality, age, etc.)
Actions
The company, together with AVA Team, decided to:
- promote team-building activities to foster corporate cohesion (team sports, volunteering, outdoor days)
- Dive into the inclusion issue by interviewing peripheral employees
- provide training for managers on diversity & inclusion issues
