Achieving Diversity With Inclusion
Workplace bias - both conscious and unconscious - continues to impede the hiring, development and promotion of underrepresented groups. Although many companies have made great strides in hiring a more diverse workforce in recent years, the likelihood that organizations will be able to retain this staff without explicitly structuring an inclusive workplace is low. Evaluating skills and gaining insight into behavioral patterns prior to an interview can help combat bias by elevating candidates based on job-fit metrics, not demographics.
If HR focuses on diversity without creating a culture of inclusion, the diverse mix of people we hire will be less likely to stay. Organizations must establish strong policies to protect employees from negative behaviors. Creating a culture of inclusivity improves retention and acts as a magnet for talent, drawing a more diverse set of applications. Companies must build an inclusive culture. Training to policies to ensure people are aware of their biases and aware of how to not act on them is critical.
