Abstract: Diversity is like two sides of a coin, both have their relevance and the presence of both are inevitable, diversity is inseparable from individuals, some traits of diversity are visible and some are inherited invisible traits which are reflected in one’s behaviour consciously or unconsciously. The word diversity is intelligible, which requires strong attention as it is a rising need that requires high consideration from all the organizations. Unconscious bias is social stereotyping about a certain group of people, that an individual is unaware of having. These biases are in the form of races, castes, religions, gender etc.
Gender Diversity is more about recognizing the differences of opinions based on Gender and assessing its associated behaviours like Attitude, Skills, Abilities, Perceptions, and Personalities. Gender discrimination is the reality that exists in our society despite the value systems. The changes, beliefs and acceptance of sexism are the various examples of biases and prejudice that are easily produced and it happens every day in the transaction the gender stereotypes and form the judgements and evaluations which ultimately affect the male and female employees. The discrimination leads to the concern that employees are not equally treated or regarded in the same position in the organization, and at times, they are not treated in the same position specifically on the higher levels as a result of gender stereotypes. Most organizations are moving towards equating diversity in the workplace for the listed reasons. This study aims to understand the concept of unconscious biases that exist in the organisation's gender parity which threatens the equal opportunity of employees working in an organisation and the decision-making pattern in an organization. The objective of this study is to address the concern of gender diversity and discrimination that takes place implicitly affects the organizations. The unconscious bias paints the thoughts and decisions of an individual and there’s a high need to recognize this need for discrimination-free organization. This study would benefit the organizations to be a torchbearer for the organization because the unconscious bias in the workplace can also affect it negatively and it strongly impacts the culture of the organization.
