Abstract
This chapter examines the multifaceted nature of workplace discrimination and its impact on organizational dynamics. It investigates the psychological and social foundations of bias and the organizational and systemic factors that perpetuate discriminatory practices. The research presents evidence- based strategies for mitigating bias, such as structured interview techniques, blind resume screening, and the implementation of diverse candidate slates. The role of technology, particularly artificial intelligence, in both perpetuating and combating bias is critically analyzed. This study provides a holistic view of the challenges and opportunities in creating more equitable and inclusive workplaces, offering valuable insights for HR professionals, organizational leaders, and scholars in management and organizational behaviour.
