As HR professionals, we seek to create organizations that are inclusive and engage talent that reflects our world’s rich diversity. Recognizing unconscious bias and reducing its impact when recruiting and sourcing talent is vital for every organization seeking to succeed in today’s competitive marketplace. Significant new studies from Catalyst, McKinsey, and several research institutions demonstrate that companies with more diversity in their workforce perform better financially than their less diverse counterparts.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the most significant challenges organizations face related to the recruitment and selection of diverse candidates.
Learn to recognize and mitigate the influence of individual and institutional bias in leading candidate assessment and interviews, establishing fair and unbiased inclusion goals and developing equitable succession planning processes.
Implementing new skills through working on case studies highlighting barriers to recruitment and candidate selection processes.
