What is linguistic bias and why does it matter at work?

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

What is linguistic bias, and why does it matter at work? Linguistic bias happens when people are judged unfairly based on how they speak, whether it’s their accent, pitch, grammar or vocabulary. It’s not about language proficiency, it’s about assumptions and stereotypes that can affect hiring, limit promotions, and reinforce exclusion. This #InclusionAtWorkWeek, DCA is proud to launch a new Linguistic Inclusion at Work resource to help workplaces recognise and disrupt linguistic bias. 🔗 Download the resource: https://ow.ly/CKSk50XqkvH 🔗 Read our research on CARM women in leadership: https://ow.ly/wHiZ50Xqkvp 🔗 Read our Class at Work research: https://ow.ly/aCMC50Xqkvq #InclusionAtWorkWeek2025 #LinguisticBias #InclusionAtWork #InclusiveWorkplaces #CARMLeadership #WorkplaceEquity #40YearsOfInclusion

Speed is another thing - many of my colleagues with disability can take longer to speak or to formulate their thoughts. That doesn't mean what they have to say is any less valuable!
