Unconscious Bias Awareness Study

December 8, 2020

Unconscious bias, binding the business success

The extent to which unconscious bias has an impact on our society and the professional services industry is hard to capture in full since the very nature of the problem is evasive and unintentionally cultivated for years. What can be attested with certainty is that a consequence of biased behaviours is an industry lacking diversity, particularly at higher organisational levels. Furthermore, unconscious biases constrains the career progression for certain groups of professionals and is becoming a bottleneck to diverse hiring. All of these practices gradually, but inevitably, erode a firms’ success.

At HLB we believe that it is our duty as professionals to analyse the as-is state of any matter and advise on the best steps towards the desired to-be state.  In this report, we look objectively into the current practices and identify where and why bias overtakes objectivity and what can be done to address and resolve unconscious bias within the professional services industry.

Navigating the cyber-risk landscape in the age of remote working

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many organisations across the globe to adopt remote working and digital processes with record speed. In doing so, CTOs and IT management faced increased vulnerabilities allowing for cyber-attacks and data breaches to take place more easily. Overnight, organisations went from controlled office environments to diverse home worksites. Continuing business, while securing multiple virtual environments, proved to be a challenge. But remote working is here to stay, so enterprises must adjust and overcome security hurdles.

In light of Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2020, we surveyed 76 IT professionals about their perceptions on information security and data protection in today’s complex digital environment. We also spoke with HLB cybersecurity experts about today’s cyber-risk landscape, the lessons learned from lockdown and the road ahead for CTOs to protect against cyber-crime in the age of remote working.
