Organizations must transform their approach to hiring and development to thrive in a diverse world. We must also come to terms with our readiness and capacity to interview, hire and manage from a culturally appropriate and affirming lens. This 90-minute webinar will explore how we can approach leadership and hiring in a way that creates an inclusive environment for all staff.
Items to consider during this webinar:
- Is diversity always a necessary component when hiring?
- What does diversity in hiring and onboarding mean? We are not just speaking about diversity as how people look.
- What do you consider when looking for the “right applicant”? Could bias be hiding in that outlook?
- Is your organization clear on its understanding of diversity and inclusion?
- As a leader, are you clued into your own biases? Have you assessed your level of cultural humility?
