Your personal experiences, background and environmental conditions all affect your choices whether you realise it or not. In many situations this isn’t an issue and, more often than not, we make the right choice based on what we’ve learned naturally and have past experience of. Unconscious bias happens when we make incredibly quick judgments and assessments of people and situations without realising.  The problem is that when unconscious bias is against certain characteristics, it can be deemed discriminatory.

The digital age is rapidly changing communications management in astronomical ways. Everything is digitized now. All businesses are online, and each of them use social media for all kinds of communication. This only means one thing — the way business communicates with the customer has changed forever.

Developing a strong employer brand may require compelling communication, but it ul
