Perception bias can have a significant impact on HR-related decisions, and it's essential to address it to ensure fair evaluations throughout the employee lifecycle.
Objective evaluation and behavioral assessments are key tools for mitigating perception bias in hiring, promoting, and developing employees.
Perception bias can show up in various forms, such as stereotyping based on personality, age, race, ethnicity, and affinity bias, which can lead to overlooking talent and hindering diversity.
Combining behavioral assessments with other strategies like awareness training, structured job interviews, and diversity considerations can help in effectively mitigating perception bias in the workplace.
