Anna Genat

Her thesis examined how unconscious biases act as barriers to women in leadership and tested job interview strategies to ameliorate bias. A new addition to the team, Anna joined BehaviourWorks in September 2021 to work within the Health portfolio.

Prior to joining BehaviourWorks, Anna worked across a range of roles and research centres working on major projects such as:

• inclusion of people with disability in employment,
• recruitment interventions to improve diversity and inclusion in the public services,
• unconscious bias and backlash in evaluations of women at work, and
• the impact of gender and sexual harassment at work on women’s wellbeing.
  

Her research interests include diversity and inclusion, wellbeing in the workplace, and biases in measurement, decision-making and evaluation.
