Bias in the workplace isn’t just about pay gaps or glass ceilings — it’s the micro-moments that shape how people are heard, valued, and promoted. It’s the silent assumptions that women are less available after kids, or less technical, or too “emotional” to lead. That’s the bias that still lingers in conference rooms everywhere.
