Companies big and small, new and old, are turning their attention inward to evaluate how inclusive and diverse they are. Some are ahead of the curve, while others – and you may be in this group – have a lot of work to do. The mountain may seem high to climb.
Embarking on the journey of fostering diversity and inclusion within a company can be intimidating, making the initial steps challenging. However, the pivotal key lies in overcoming the apprehension and initiating the process. The more time one postpones the development of a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture, the more arduous it becomes in the long run.
And because it’s daunting, it can be hard to even start. But the key is to just start. The longer you wait to build a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture, the harder it will be in the future.
We are doing the hard but important work via our own working JEDI (justice, equality, diversity, and inclusion) working group. We are also targeting under-represented populations in the recruiting work we do by using technology that generates shortlists based on a candidate’s personality, experience, and overall fit for a company’s particular culture.
Are you ready to begin this journey? Here are some good tips aimed to help you get started on that worthwhile path: http://ow.ly/rpWk50BXYMI
