14.01.2022 Thought we would share one of the interesting articles that was in our November Newsletter. This is from one of our committee, Melissa Mentiplay. RECRUITING FOR DIVERSITY The benefits of a diverse workforce are many higher productivity, increased employee retention and greater levels of employee engagement, to name just a few. Regardless of your company headcount, budget or prior experience with diversity, here are some simple steps you can take to ensure your hiring practi...ces support the building of highly skilled and diverse teams: 1. Take a look at the visuals - what demographics are represented in your photos? Homogeneous imagery can suggest a non-inclusive workplace to prospective employees. 2. Consider the language of your ad More than simply avoiding the use of ‘he/his/him’, gender-coded words such as ‘aggressive’ or ‘dominant’ can also discourage women from applying. 3. Develop results-based job descriptions Studies have found that while men will apply for a role if they meet 60% of the requirements, women will only apply if they meet 100% of them. Consider focussing on what the successful applicant will be expected to achieve in their first 6-12 months in role. 4. Conduct blind screenings to minimise unconscious biases - Studies have shown that resumes with female names are rated lower than ones with male names, even when they are equally qualified. 5. Avoid culture fit as a reason for rejecting an applicant This can often be unconscious bias at play; challenge your recruiters to articulate specific reasons for not considering candidates. 6. Aim to include underrepresented employees on your interview panel Having a mix of genders and backgrounds on a recruitment panel not only provides fresh perspective on interviews, it’s also a great visual demonstration of your company commitment to diversity.
