Black American family of four sits around a table. From left, the mother smiles, the daughter is looking at the piggy bank in front of her, the son is putting coins into the piggy bank and the father stands behind the children smiling. There are bills and coins scattered across the table in front of the piggy bank.

It can be hard for managers to remove bias from the hiring process. They may think they're evaluating each candidate fairly, but a @Wharton study shared with #NinetyToZero partners shows how easy it is for implicit bias to creep in. 🔗About NinetyToZero: ninetytozero.org/
