Bias in documents refers to language or tone that unfairly favors or dismisses a person or group, often without the writer even realizing it.

 

In simpler terms: Bias is anything in your writing that can make readers feel misrepresented or disrespected.

 

In professional communication, even the strongest arguments can lose credibility if the tone feels biased or unintentionally offensive. That’s why many teams now intentionally check for biased language.
