What action should the company take to address potential biases and promote inclusivity in the workplace?

Cultural Bias Manager

C) Organize a team training session on diversity and inclusion, facilitating open discussions and providing resources and strategies to promote awareness and address biases within the team.

Option C demonstrates a proactive approach to addressing bias by providing education and resources to the entire team.
