Hiring Practices to Ensure Diversity and Inclusion

Organizations often speak about diversity and the desire to have a more diverse workforce. A diverse team brings a unique set of opinions and perspectives to your company. In fact, companies with diverse workforces typically outperform their competitors and report having happier employees. For example, racially and ethnically diverse companies outperform industry norms by 35%. (Source: McKinsey, TalentLyft)

However, despite the hype, only about half of employers have programs in place to attract and recruit diverse candidates. About the same number do not monitor employee diversity at all. Join this 3-hour seminar directed at recruiters, HR professionals, managers, directors and business owners to learn how to diversify your workforce—from policies and procedures to onboarding.

Having a more diverse workforce begins with having a more inclusive recruitment program and strategy. If organizations continue to use the same recruiting processes that they have always used, they will continue to get the same results. Just hoping to get more diverse candidates in your recruitment pool is not a strategy.
