organisational preference

We tend to favour affinity

Organisational preference occurs when a group of like-minded people who share similar backgrounds, values, information, and perspectives, embeds these traits into the organisation's policies, procedures, and practices. I think this tendency often results in favouring a limited set of norms, behaviours, and individuals, mistakenly perceived as the only "right" approach. The issue arises when organisations claim to value diversity but fail to embrace genuine change when welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds. Instead, organisational preference continues a cycle of seeking people who closely resemble those already present within the organisation.
