【Adecco】公司在招聘过程中未能解决“无意识偏见”现象

UK - FIRMS FAILING TO TACKLE UNCONSCIOUS BIAS, FINDS ADECCO

More than a third,or 39%, of UK hiring managers have not received training in unconscious biasbest-practice as part of the recruitment process in their current company,according to research from Adecco.

The research,which was carried out by Opinion Matters, surveyed more than 500 hiringmanagers. It also showed that two years since then prime minister, DavidCameron, launched a pledge to tackle discrimination by recruiting on a 'name blind' basis, 65%of UK organisations are still not using blind CVs.

Meanwhile, 26%think that having regular training would be the most effective way to eliminateunconscious bias as part of the recruitment process, followed by 17% who thinkthat removing age from CVs would have the biggest impact. Furthermore, theresearch showed that if forced to remove one piece of information from CVs, 23%would remove hobbies rather than names (8%) to tackle unconscious bias and 10%of respondents think that removing pictures on CVs would help people to makeunbiased decisions in the recruitment process.

"Despite unconsciousbias being as big an issue as ever, too many organisations are still not takingactive steps to tackle the problem," Alex Fleming,President of General Staffing, The Adecco Group UK and Ireland, said. "Traininghiring managers in unconscious bias practice and using blind CVs are relativelyeasy actions for organisations to take, so it's concerning thattheir deployment remains relatively low."

The research addedthat 20% of companies are using AI or technology to help eliminate unconsciousbias. A further 25% are not currently using AI or technology but are looking tointroduce it as part of the recruitment process.

据Adecco最新调查表明，在英国，近39%的招聘经理没有接受过"无意识偏见"方面的培训，而这项培训是他们招聘的流程中的一项。该项研究结果是通过对500名招聘经理进行了问卷调查后得到的。

调查还显示，英国首相DavidCameron曾在两年前就发起过一项倡议去应对在招聘中会产生的歧视、偏见现象。他提出，在招聘时可以尝试不看应聘者姓名直接翻阅简历。然而，65%的英国机构并没有相应他的号召。

与此同时，26%的人认为定期培训将是消除无意识偏见的最有效方法，这是招聘过程的一部分，其次是17%的人认为从简历中删除年龄会产生最大的影响。此外，研究表明，如果被迫从个人简历中删除一条信息，23%的人会删除业余爱好；而只有8%的人会删除自己的名字；10%的受访者认为在简历中删除照片会帮助人们在招聘过程中做出公正的决定。

Adecco Group UK和Ireland的总裁Alex Fleming表示:"尽管存在无意识偏见的现象，但大多数机构并没有采取积极有效的措施来解决此问题，对招聘人员进行无意识偏见的培训可以较好的解决此现象，但是，多数机构也没有专门安排培训。

研究还表明，20%的公司正在使用人工智能技术来减低在招聘中出现的无意识偏见现象。另有25%的公司正在筹备使用人工智能技术。
