It can affect how you interact with your staff, volunteers, donors, partners, and beneficiaries, and create barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization. As a nonprofit leader, you have a responsibility to address implicit bias and foster a culture of respect, trust, and belonging. Here are some steps you can take to do that.

1 Assess your current situation

The first step is to acknowledge that implicit bias exists and that it can influence your decisions and actions. You can use tools such as the Implicit Association Test (IAT) to measure your own biases and those of your team members. You can also conduct surveys, interviews, or focus groups to gather feedback from different stakeholders on how they perceive your organization's culture, values, and practices. This will help you identify the gaps and challenges that need to be addressed.

Implicit bias can be countered by making it a priority from the top down. Bias much like discrimination is unacceptable in any organization. Everyone has something to contribute to the greater good of the organization. As a leader, it is your responsibility to fight bias at all times and on a continuous basis.

Encourage team effort more than individual effort. As a leader, even if you have the best employee, avoid commending their progress alone. Instead, encourage team work in various projects and recognize team efforts more. This makes everybody believe in themselves more and and no one feels less than the other.

2 Educate yourself and others

The second step is to learn more about the causes and effects of implicit bias, and how to prevent or reduce it. You can access online courses, webinars, podcasts, books, or articles that cover topics such as social identity, privilege, power, discrimination, and allyship. You can also invite experts, trainers, or consultants to facilitate workshops or discussions on implicit bias and related issues for your staff and board. The goal is to raise awareness, increase empathy, and encourage dialogue.

At Genders & Sexualities Alliance Network we developed a decolonized approach to leadership and management. Under this approach it was everyone’s job decolonize their own minds because everyone has a different racial or gender identity we had lot of room to name and reflect on hidden biases. And the system management was responsible for identifying and replacing harmful or talk to toxic workplace practices. Or philosophy is rooted in justice and liberation. We didn’t do a DEI training the during time I was there, (we were already kind people everyone was getting trained to handle) And that’s because we’d all unified on the goal of what we wanted this workplace to feel like for us as queer & trans people of color. Wanted to feel free.

3 Implement inclusive policies and practices

The third step is to translate your learning into action, by reviewing and revising your policies and practices to make them more inclusive and equitable. This may involve changing your hiring, promotion, evaluation, or compensation processes to reduce bias and increase diversity. It may also involve creating or updating your code of conduct, anti-discrimination policy, or grievance procedure to ensure a safe and respectful work environment. Additionally, you may want to diversify your sources of information, funding, and partnerships to broaden your perspective and reach.

In my experience, it is about holding regular workshops for the whole organisation members to know the latest developments of discrimination ordinance. After these, the board directors and others work with each other to explore how to implement the policies and learn from other organisations on their diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Since organisation are of different sites, it is important to leverage exteran resources. For example, fair rights or equal opportunities bodies can help to review policies and provide advice, and so can pro-bono lawyers. Their feedback should be taken seriously for inclusive policies and practices to be implemented.

4 Monitor and evaluate your progress

The fourth step is to track and measure your progress and impact, by setting clear goals, indicators, and timelines for addressing implicit bias. You can use tools such as surveys, audits, or dashboards to collect and analyze data on your diversity, equity, and inclusion outcomes. You can also solicit feedback from your staff, volunteers, donors, partners, and beneficiaries on how they experience your organization's culture, values, and practices. This will help you identify the strengths and weaknesses of your efforts, and make adjustments as needed.

5 Celebrate and reward success

The fifth step is to celebrate and reward the achievements and contributions of your staff, volunteers, donors, partners, and beneficiaries who have helped you address implicit bias and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization. You can use platforms such as newsletters, social media, or events to showcase their stories, insights, or best practices. You can also use incentives such as recognition, appreciation, or rewards to motivate and encourage them to continue their work. The goal is to create a positive and supportive culture that values difference and collaboration.

6 Commit to continuous learning and improvement

The sixth step is to commit to continuous learning and improvement, by acknowledging that addressing implicit bias is an ongoing and dynamic process that requires constant reflection and action. You can use tools such as journals, blogs, or podcasts to keep yourself updated on the latest research, trends, or innovations on implicit bias and related issues. You can also join networks, communities, or coalitions that offer opportunities for learning, sharing, or advocacy on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The goal is to foster a growth mindset that embraces change and challenges.

Implicit biases are inherent in everyone; these are not consciously chosen but are socially conditioned. Leaders must work with their teams to actively co-create safe spaces where implicit biases can be constructively challenged. Creating a safe space goes beyond simply declaring it as such; It hinges on the collaborative efforts of both leaders and teams. The foundations of psychological safety are built on mutual trust and accountability. For nonprofit leaders, it's essential to model attitudes and practices that foster this environment. This includes encouraging vulnerability, open sharing of truths, expressing curiosity, non-defensiveness, and demonstrating a willingness to embrace change.
