Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Part 3 – Recruitment and Retention Checklist

Diversity hiring centers around hiring based on merit with special care taken to ensure procedures are free from biases related to a candidate’s age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and other personal characteristics. Such characteristics are clearly unrelated to their job performance. There is a common misconception that the goal of diversity recruitment is simply to increase workplace diversity for the sake of diversity. Its true aim is to identify and remove potential biases in sourcing, screening, and selection of qualified, diverse candidates. As a result, you can reap all the benefits that come with a diverse workforce.
