Everyday Diversity™ An Introduction to Diversity Recruiting & Hiring
Are you curious how diversity can help your team be more innovative and impact your culture? To begin, we need to know that diversity is a term that doesn’t apply to just a few things … like race and gender… diversity also encompasses people from different cultures or regions of the country. Or, it could be people of different ages or educational backgrounds.
Everyday Diversity™ Avoiding Bias in Hiring
Bias impacts how we see candidates and often limits our ability to find and hire the best talent. Why? Because we often make assumptions about the candidates. Everyone makes assumptions about others... it's a natural part of how we interact with each other. Probably more times than we'd like to admit, we let appearances impact the way we think and treat others.
Everyday Diversity™ Exploring Filters
When it comes to interacting with others in the workplace, we all have filters. Our filters are made up of our experiences, our upbringing, beliefs… and so much more. When it comes down to it, these filters impact how we perceive and understand the world around us. The key is learning how to use these filters to our advantage!
Everyday Diversity™ Keeping Diverse Candidates
So, you hired the candidate you’ve been looking for? Well, your job’s not done. You simply can’t let them fend for themselves. You need to work on keeping them… by making a conscious effort to make them feel included – AND an integral part of the organization. How do we do that? First, introduce them to people in the company who can be of assistance – on the big and the small stuff.
Everyday Diversity™ Selecting Diverse Candidates
How important is it to select diverse candidates? Conventional wisdom says that having team members who are all alike… makes working together easier… and that may be true. But, when it comes to creative and innovative ideas, a diverse team gets better results.
