To add another layer, HR not only has to deal with personal biases, but also the perceived biases of management and clients (for service-oriented businesses). It seems to me that in all cases the solution is the same. That is, HR must put any biases or perceived biases aside, regardless of circumstances. Thanks for the insightful article!

I used to feel the same way about people named "Nancy." The reason is pointless to discuss, but the bottom line is that certain names can evoke psychological reactions based on memory. There are some incredible Nancys in the world, just as there are Reynahs. I hired a Renah when I owned my own business. She turned out to be the best employee I ever had. Thanks for writing this post. As always, you know how to bring a message home.<br><br>Your twitterpal,<br><br>@HRMargo Margo Rose <a href="http://hrmargo.com" rel="nofollow">http://hrmargo.com</a> Karla, it’s so funny that you write about this topic.

(I had a dream about vampires last night that inspired it.) Personal bias is something every HR person struggles with. We are still human after all. My guess is that the biggest struggle for HR is people naturally like people who like them, & dislike those who dislike us. I always move through this by reminding myself: this is not my personal life; this is the workplace & it's about the work.<br>The worst case of personal bias that I ever experienced was not mine, but someone else's. I worked for someone that had a reputation for blackballing internal candidates. The reasons were never spoken. It didn't matter if they had the KSA's. Solution: moved my employment elsewhere.
