How to make work fair with practical and data-driven strategies
Briefly

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.
