Digital HR Leaders with David Green

How Can Technology Reduce Bias in the Workplace? Interview with Dr. Julia Shaw


Listen Later

Our memory can lead us astray in an astonishing number of ways, including by causing us to remember things we think we've done, but actually haven't. My guest on today's episode of the podcast, is Dr. Julia Shaw.

The psychologist, honorary research associate at University College London, author of two fascinating books, the memory illusion and evil and co-founder of artificial intelligence-based reporting tool Spot, Julia is best known for her work in the areas of memory and criminal psychology. It's a fascinating topic, and as you'll learn, one that has significant relevance in the workplace.

In our conversation, Julia and I discuss: 

  • The role of unconscious bias and the dangers of people using this as an excuse for their far more visible biases
  • The application of memory science in the workplace, and how our memories can let us down, particularly in stressful situations 
  • How technology and analytics is helping improve reporting on episodes of harassment or discrimination in the workplace
  • We look into the crystal ball and ponder what the role of HR will be in 2025
