Employers likely have questions about abortion-related employment protections and healthcare benefits after [June 24th’s] SCOTUS controversial decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Given the ruling, people in states with strict abortion limitations may end up traveling to other states to receive abortion-related care.

A journey into the complexities of cognitive biases in the workplace: knowing how to recognize them, their impact on teams and leaders, and how to best manage them. Understanding cognitive biases is crucial in building a healthy working culture and running a successful business, especially when it comes to hiring, talent retention and teamwork.

What are cognitive biases?
A cognitive bias is a deviation that occurs in our thinking process that often leads us to make incorrect judgments which can lead to poor decision-making. But the question is, why do cognitive biases occur? The answer is because our brain has limitations in its processing capacity and doesn’t function like an algorithm. Whereas a computer can process seemingly endless amounts of data, a human brain is limited in the amount of information it can structurally process simultaneously. It simply can’t identify, process, analyze, understand, and visualize every single bit of information it is presented with in a systematic and rational way.
