ICYMI: Bias in Hiring

Cover slide describing October webinar

Our DEI Leader Network October event was a lively discussion about bias in hiring and what employers can do about it. If you missed the live event, you can view it here.

Everyone has biases because it allows our brains to process enormous amounts of information quickly and efficiently. And while these blind spots help us in our daily lives, they can also have an undesirable impact on talent attraction and recruiting. HR leader Erin Thrower, CEO of Agile Consulting, shared the different ways that bias shows up in the hiring process, questions to avoid, and tips for solving bias-related problems.

Diversity Works has created a Diversity Works Bias in Hiring tip sheet that covers a number of concrete ways to eliminate bias in the hiring process. We encourage you to share it with your hiring managers and recruiters.

Please join us on December 15 at 1:00 PM ET for our next live event. Follow us on LinkedIn for more information about the DEI Leader Network events.

DIVERSITY WORKS EXCHANGE

The Diversity Works Exchange (DWX) is a learning collaborative that helps organizations set goals and improve performance around workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Our approach provides comparably situated, like-minded employers with a safe space to learn from DEI experts and interact with peers who are facing or are successfully addressing similar challenges.

The DWX is designed to help organizations improve across a wide range of DEI competencies, but each cohort selects its own priorities. Diversity Works creates a custom curriculum for each cohort and facilitates the learning process through a combination of online or in-person convenings, interactive webinars, and one-on-one coaching. We create a private, unlisted LinkedIn group for each cohort that allows participants to engage their peers and DEI experts at any time during their DWX term and beyond.

DEI LEADER NETWORK

The DEI Leader Network is a free resource for DEI professionals. We created the network because DEI leaders often feel isolated in their role and benefit from networking with their peers. To join the DEI Leader Network, please get in touch.
