Companies spend millions on diversity programs each year with the goal to create workforces that are more inclusive. Not only is building a more inclusive workforce just the right thing to do it is also a well-researched lever to better business outcomes. However, studies also show that bias prevention training and policies rarely deliver and sometimes even make the situation worse. 

What else can you do for teams and for leaders to make sure they're making the most of diverse voices? Although bias itself is hard to eliminate, it is not as difficult to interrupt.
