Unconscious bias affects our everyday behaviours, from the way we work as a team, the way we underwrite, price risk or manage broker or client relationships through to our ability to recruit, innovate and make strategic decisions. Recognising and combating these biases is critical to improving team and business performance, talent acquisition and for maintaining a competitive advantage.
