1. Acknowledge the Issue Privately: Have a private, non-judgmental conversation with the team member. Use specific examples of how their biases are affecting client interactions. Encourage them to reflect on their actions and perspectives without being accusatory, focusing on professional growth. 2. Promote Awareness and Education: Offer training on unconscious bias, cultural competence, and inclusivity. These sessions can increase self-awareness and provide practical tools for minimizing bias in client interactions. Share resources such as articles, videos, or workshops on empathy, diversity, and non-discriminatory practices.
