Team meetings are renowned for being boring and, to many employees, a waste of time.

“How much did you make at your last job?”. Until recently, it was fairly standard practice to ask job candidates about salary history in interviews or on job applications. But not anymore. Now, it’s becoming increasingly off limits. More and more states are adopting laws that prohibit asking job candidates about their salary history. The laws are part of a recent effort to fight gender discrimination and narrow the pay gap between men and women.

That was my takeaway from David Rock’s presentation on The Neuroscience of Breaking Bias from last year’s Society for Human Resource Management Annual Conference. All biases are not bad. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t address them. Here’s why: Think of bias as our tendency to generalize or group people or information. Each of us gets our biases from a different place, so we can’t treat all biases the same.
