The nationwide “great resignation” has had a tremendous impact on the makeup of our workplaces. With turnover happening at record-breaking speed, employers are working more quickly than ever to make hires. While shortened hiring cycles are certainly helping to fill talent gaps, they pose a significant risk to workplace diversity and efforts to intentionally reduce bias.
From bias towards candidates’ education level and affiliations to preferences for those of similar backgrounds, when hiring teams lose sight of curbing potential biases, especially given heightened demand to fill positions, capable workers offering unique perspectives or unconventional skills can be overlooked.
This program will bring together local talent leaders and hiring managers to examine considerations that employers should make to ensure inclusive hiring processes even in times of rapid organizational change, including a closer look at job description language, interview practices, and more, to ensure that DEI remains a priority in our workplaces during the great resignation and long after.
