Frequently Asked Questions
What is inclusive hiring?
Inclusive hiring means ensuring that every step in the employee lifecycle – recruiting, onboarding, evaluation, development, mentorship/sponsorship, promotion, and transition – is inclusive. When it comes to recruiting in particular, it means giving all candidates an equal opportunity to be hired. This entails ensuring your processes, including application, resume review, and interviewing, are inclusive.
Why is inclusive hiring important?
Inclusive hiring helps organizations recruit and retain more diverse talent. And diverse teams are more successful. A study by Harvard Business Review found that firms with inherent and acquired diversity were 45% more likely to report a growth in market share and 70% more likely to report capturing a new market. Diverse teams are also more innovative, as proven by research from Boston Consulting Group and Deloitte.
How can I develop an inclusive talent acquisition strategy?
An inclusive talent acquisition strategy requires analyzing each step in the employee lifecycle to make sure you are not alienating or excluding any candidates or employees. For instance, if your online application is not digitally accessible, you are losing out on qualified candidates with disabilities. If you hire women employees but there are no women in leadership positions, that sends a message that there aren’t development and promotion opportunities available. The first step in developing a strategy is auditing your current policies and processes and exploring how you can make things more inclusive and equitable.
