You Can't Believe Anything They Say

There are two keys to working with an employee who thinks the information you're using in your discussion is biased; the first is to take extra time to really listen to the employee's perspective. And the second is to be specific about the information you're basing your evaluation on. The key is to use the T.A.L.K.™ model to help the employee identify areas that need improvement on their own.

The impact of unconscious bias means that we are acting a certain way towards people or circumstances without realizing it.
