In this video, Iris Bohnet, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government and Co-Director of the Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP) at Harvard Kennedy School, lists three things that organizations and employers should know as they try to debias their workplace and tackle issues such as the gender pay gap and performance support bias.

About WAPPP
The Women and Public Policy Program of Harvard Kennedy School closes gender gaps in economic opportunity, political participation, health and education by creating knowledge, training leaders, and informing public policy and organizational practices.
Our research provides evidence-based insights on the role of gender in shaping economic, political, and social opportunities available to individuals. We identify successful interventions and measure their impact on women, men, and society, then share recommendations on what policies, organizational practices, and leadership techniques help close involuntary gaps.
