About this resource

The link is to an article on Google and its initiative to stamp out unconscious bias in its hiring and promotion practices. The article ran in the New York Times on Sept 14, 2014.

Embedded within the article is a link to a 60 minute video by Google. The video provides an overview of unconscious bias and how it can affect hiring and promotion decisions.
Presenter is quite effective in discussing unconscious bias and cites much of the research in a compelling way.
Short clips of the video can be extracted as some of the content is quite specific to Google.
