It’s an uncomfortable truth that the vast majority of us has unconscious or ‘implicit’ biases, soaked up from our individual life experiences and the world around us. An online test, spearheaded by a team of social psychologists, has attempted to lift the veil on our underlying attitudes — making the unconscious conscious in regard to our beliefs about individuals based on everything from their race, class, age and gender, to their sexuality, disability and even body size. Becoming aware is an important step. But it’s the action we take in response to that new awareness that truly has the power to enhance diversity and inclusion levels in our workplaces — from who we hire, promote, mentor and sponsor, to how we build our networks. 

While some of the resources below are for our global community of everywomanNetwork members, many more are free to access. In celebration of National Inclusion Week (28th September – 4th October), we welcome browsing from individuals and organisations who want to make inclusion an everyday reality. And should you wish to go further and require our help in creating a truly inclusive culture at your workplace, we’d love to hear from you.
