Gain a better understanding as to how bias can impact your selection process.
Many organizations who struggle with recruitment of a diverse workforce already understand their regulatory compliance obligations regarding recruitment, hiring and promotions, but do not fully understand how to navigate some of the common barriers to reducing bias in their selection process. Failing to implement an effective plan for reducing bias in hiring can lead to fiscal inefficiencies, costly legal disputes and declining employee engagement. Leaders and human resource professionals also face challenges in establishing an organizational culture that is more welcoming and supportive of diversity. This topic helps leaders responsible for recruitment of a diverse workforce improve their understanding of some the challenges hiring teams face in eliminating bias from the selection process. This information will also identify important factors to be considered in formulating an effective bias reduction strategy, and is critical for recruitment professionals responsible for improving organizational diversity and inclusion.
