Killing gender bias in the workplace | #VMworld

How does internal bias affect us in the workplace, especially when it comes to gender? theCUBE host Jeff Frick talks to Lori Nishiura Mackenzie, Executive Director of the Clayman Institute, an organization which focuses on gender research and gender equality, at the VMWomen SidePanel from the recently concluded VMworld conference.

Bias in the Workplace

Mackenzie talks about how bias affects the way we view ourselves and what our vocabulary does to support our biases. In the workplace, these means everything from talking about accomplishments and personalities in evaluations, to limiting people’s ability to progress because of perceptions.

Bias in the workplace has been shown to limit the way women are perceived and provide more opportunities to men based only on gender, not qualifications. Get some of Mackenzie’s ideas about how to remove gender bias from the workplace in this interview with Frick.
