A cutting-edge, relentless, objective approach to inclusion.Companies spend billions of dollars annually on diversity efforts with remarkably few results. Too often diversity efforts rest on the assumption that all that's needed is an earnest conversation about "privilege." That's not enough. To truly make progress we need to stop celebrating the problem and instead take effective steps to solve it.In Bias Interrupted, Joan C. Williams shows how it's done, and, reassuringly, how easy it is to get started. One of today's preeminent voices on inclusive workplaces, Williams explains how leaders can use standard business tools—data, metrics, and persistence—to interrupt the bias that is continually transmitted through formal systems like performance appraisals, as well as the informal systems that control access to career-enhancing opportunities. The book presents fresh evidence, based on Williams's exhaustive research and work with companies, that interrupting bias helps every group—including white men.Comprehensive, though compact and straightforward, Bias Interrupted delivers real, practical value in an efficient and accessible manner to an audience that has never needed it more. It's possible to interrupt bias. Here's where you start.

”Siger du, at hvide mænd har det let? Jeg føler mig ikke privilegeret.” ”Vi er en arbejdsplads, hvor de dygtigste og mest hårdtarbejdende kommer længst. Beder du os om at lave om på det?””Kvinders prioriteringer ændrer sig, når de får børn. Siger du, at jeg skal se bort fra det?”Ved hjælp af skarpe spørgsmål og direkte sprog viser biasekspert Joan C. Williams vej til fremtidens måde at arbejde med diversitet, inklusion og lige muligheder i organisationer. BRYD BIAS er bygget op om de spørgsmål, forbehold og bekymringer, som de færreste bryder sig om at stille eller udtrykke. Ud fra CEO’ens og hele organisationens perspektiv beskriver hun på en både empatisk og veldokumenteret måde, hvad der skal til, for at vi kan få diversitet, mangfoldighed og inklusion til at lykkes. Det sker nemlig ikke via de mange rundbordssamtaler og enkeltstående projekter til store summer, som kendetegner mange virksomheders indsats i dag, men ved at arbejde med udfordringerne på lige fod med al anden forretningsudvikling og med de værktøjer, vi allerede kender. Joan C. Willams, der er en af verdens mest citerede biasforskere og professor ved University of California, gør op med traditionel biastænkning og slår fast, at vi ikke kan slippe af med bias, men vi kan bryde dem, der står i vejen for, at alle får lige muligheder. Hun afliver myter og præsenterer læseren for ny forskning og en lang række tankevækkende eksempler og cases fra sine omfattende virksomhedsundersøgelser, der taler direkte ind i problematikkerne. Med de mange gode råd klæder hun lederen konkret på til biasarbejdet – til gavn for alle i organisationen. BRYD BIAS er en oversættelse af Bias Interrupted (Harvard Business Review Press 2021) med dansk forord af professor og ledelsesforsker Sara Louise Muhr fra Copenhagen Business School. Oversat af Via Christensen.Til bogen hører en engelsksproget værktøjskasse, som kan hentes på www.biasinterrupters.org.

I dag er de fleste danske organisationer begyndt at overveje, hvaddiversitet og inklusion (D&I) er, og hvordan de kan aktivere diversitetpositivt gennem inklusion. Men i den proces er der hårdt brugfor viden. For selv om diversitet er på mange toplederes dagsorden,er der stadig ikke mange, der har fuldstændig styr på, hvilke organisatoriskegreb der skal til for at opnå den ønskede diversitet – oghvilke inklusionsprocesser der støtter op om dette ønske. Bogen herer et uundværligt redskab for alle, der vil blive bedre til at arbejdestrategisk med diversitet og inklusion. Derudover introducererJoan C. Williams et begreb, der for mange danskere stadig er nyt,nemlig det, der på engelsk benævnes equity, som bliver til det E, dersættes ind mellem D og I, således at vi taler om DEI. De tre begreberbruges dog på lidt forskellig vis forskellige steder i bogen, så det kanvære nyttigt med en introduktion til begreberne.
