Siri Chilazi and Iris Bohnet emphasize the necessity of embedding fairness into everyday choices, routines, and systems in both professional and personal environments. Their book, 'Make Work Fair: Data-Driven Design for Real Results,' advocates for a systemic approach to fairness, illustrated through various examples in technology, healthcare, and workplace practices. The authors argue that fairness should not be considered a standalone program but rather a fundamental aspect of how organizations operate, ensuring that all individuals are seen, heard, and valued equally.
Fairness must be embedded in our systems. Fairness is not a program, it is a way of doing things, but it does not happen automatically.
Unfairness can creep in anywhere: cars, protective gear, artificial intelligence, data for decision-making, and workplace procedures.
To achieve true fairness, we must integrate it into our daily routines, choices, and systems, reflecting diverse voices at the decision-making table.
The disparity in reapplication rates for leadership roles indicates that systemic issues may still persist in organizations, affecting women more than men.
