Jana and coauthor Ashley Diaz Mejias bring together in-depth research on how biases become embedded into workplace cultures with practical and engaging tools that will mobilize readers toward action. They confront specific topics such as racism, sexism, hiring and advancement bias and retribution bias, meaning when organizations develop a culture of aggression, and offer solutions for identifying and controlling them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book urges readers to ask questions such as, “Are we attempting to create systems in which all people can thrive? What kind of world and what kind of workplaces are we cultivating?” These questions, the authors say, must first be answered by ourselves, recognizing our own role in perpetuating harmful biases that come to define institutions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a world divided, \u003ci\u003eErasing Institutional Bias\u003c\/i\u003e is designed to raise awareness about imbalances and help us hold ourselves accountable for creating a world that works for everyone. Jana and Mejias inspire and equip us so that we can all affect organizational change, together.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“A great foundation for leaders and change-makers looking to disrupt the status quo.” —Chas.
