This is your HR News Flash, your briefing on talent management and the world of work from HRCI. Inclusion is the foundation of a positive culture. To shift your organization towards a more respectful and inclusive workplace, you have to engage your frontline talent. Here is how to create a more respectful and inclusive workplace. Don’t mistake diversity for inclusion. A common mistake organizations make is choosing to hire a diverse group of employees, while still leaving out potential talent from some historically marginalized groups. To create an inclusive workplace, you must give everyone an opportunity to contribute. Move beyond training and awareness. While training and awareness can help your organization advance towards a respectful and inclusive environment, this is just the beginning. To cultivate an inclusive culture, you must also build awareness into your everyday language and processes. Create opportunities for diverse talent. Recruiting and hiring a diverse workforce does not mean reducing the qualification required for the position. Observe overall candidate qualities and fit when interviewing a diverse group of applicants. As we continue to observe Hispanic Heritage Month, “Esperanza: A Celebration of Hispanic Heritage and Hope,” checkout local events and opportunities that celebrate the many contributions that Hispanics make to your community and workplace.
