Are Your Selection Processes Hindering Diversity?

In 2019, diversity and inclusion are vital pillars of human resources. Bringing a wealth of different experiences and backgrounds, diversifying your workforce enhances performance and reputation amongst customers.

As such, your recruitment processes are critical to supporting D&I effectively in 2019.

Our recent workshop discussed the best approach to attracting diverse talent. For those who missed it, our handy guide tells you everything you need to know.

So why, despite widespread agreement on the benefits of diversity and inclusion, do so many companies struggle to implement it in any sort of a meaningful way? The answer often lies in your selection processes.

Our next Inclusion 360 workshop with top business psychologist, Paul Rein, on 30^th January will explore the dangers attached to a lack of diversity, how flawed selection processes might be hurting your diversity targets and offer solutions to overcome them.

Below we’ve outlined some of the most harmful – and often unnoticed – factors that impact your selection process. Ask yourself if your organisation is prone to either of them.

Limited Horizons

It is easy for your company to implement selection processes using traditional, tried and tested methods. But this can lead your business to lack diversity, as it selects talent from the same talent pools.

If your business continues to use the same talent pools, the candidate shortlist will remain similar, lacking in diversity and impacting your performance against those who choose to fish in a different or larger pond.

Adopting Solid Selection Solutions

Having worked alongside multinationals, including ASDA and Porsche, business psychologist Paul Rein will offer concrete selection solutions to your diversity woes in this next workshop.

Using his behavioural science and psychometric expertise, Paul designs effective and actionable solutions across the employee cycle, particularly during the recruitment process.

HR professionals are no longer restrained by limited, traditional methods. In this session, modern solutions will be offered and their benefits demonstrated.

From automated assessments on a candidate’s technical ability and expanded talent outreach, to the implementation of diverse recruitment panels and effective utilisation of recruitment partners, this workshop will lead your business to embrace and implement meaningful D&I, enhance performance and talent available for the future.
