The Equitable Reorg: A Data-Driven Approach to Mitigating Bias

Reorganizations force business leaders to make tough talent decisions. Though it’s common to talk about bias in the hiring process, it’s not always a point of discussion during reorganizations. If bias infiltrates any aspect of your employment process, it can undermine your efforts at diversity, equity, and inclusion.

This guide provides a four-step approach to reduce bias in reorganization decisions.

Topics include:

  • Defining bias

  • Objective vs. subjective evaluation criteria

  • Centralizing employee data to help gain insights and make data-driven decisions

  • Technology tools designed to flag risk, drive structure, and ensure fair decision-making

"Complete and accurate employee data is crucial in the pursuit to mitigate bias. If companies aren't carefully analyzing data for trends, they run the risk of making biased employment decisions—which can have long-lasting implications.”

-Jenny Dearborn, MBA, Multi-time Chief People Officer and Best-Selling Author of The Insight-Driven Leader
