Drs. Steven & Maria Painchaud have found when working with organizations the root cause for many challenges the organizations face stem from the lack of well-developed human relations skills. There is a direct relationship between human relations skills and implicit bias. Understanding how implicit bias may influence decisions, especially those based in business ethics, is integral to the well-being of any organization.

Additionally, the concept of business ethics will be discussed. Utilizing vignettes to illustration examples of implicit bias in ethical decision making will help participants to become more aware of the subtleties of the bias’s influence.
