TAKEAWAYS

• Small changes in hiring practices can reduce bias and help employers focus on what matters.

• Bias training alone isn’t enough to create fairness; structural and data-driven changes are needed to drive real impact.

• Data should be more than just charts and reports—it should be used to identify gaps and take meaningful action toward equity.

• Transparency and accountability push organizations to follow through on diversity and inclusion efforts.

• Workplace norms shape behavior, and leaders can actively influence these norms to create a more inclusive culture.

• People naturally gravitate toward those similar to them, making structured hiring processes essential to reduce bias.

• Leaders don’t have to overhaul everything at once—small, intentional shifts can create big results over time.
