Ep 408: Hiring Revolution
DE&I continues, thankfully, to be an extremely high profile issue for employers. However, the needle is still not moving quickly enough, and some of the data is shocking. For example, it would still take 200 hundred years to close the race and gender pay gaps at the current rate of progress.\n\nSo what can employers do to accelerate the pace of change, and how much can individual recruiters influence diversity in hiring. This week, my guests are Trina Olson and Alfonso Wenker, co-founders of Team Dynamics. Trina and Alfonso work with some well-known organisations to improve their diversity and hiring practices. They have recently authored a book called Hiring Revolution that offers some extremely practical advice on how recruiters can inject DE&I into their organisation's hiring.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nAligning cultural behaviour to values\n\nWhy inequities in hiring and promotion are not a foregone conclusion\n\nResume racism\xa0\n\nRecruiters taking individual responsibility to make change\n\nNotice, Name and Navigate\n\nRPDR\n\nWhat to do more of, what to do less of and what to stop.\n\nOnboarding\n\nHow will things develop over the next two years?\n\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
