Building the Diversity of Your Talent Streams, Immediate Strategies

Decades of research by organizational scientists, sociologists, economists, and demographers show that socially diverse groups (that is, those with a diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, for example) are more innovative than homogeneous groups. However, simply having a diverse workforce does not always guarantee an inclusive workplace. Strategies to support a diverse talent pool are needed at every stage of the hiring process.

In this training, participants will:

• learn the importance of attracting a diverse talent pool;
• discuss the benefits of mitigating bias in the hiring process; and
• consider immediate strategies and tactics for more equitable hiring and talent attraction.

Vibrant Pittsburgh’s monthly Lunch and Learns brings together Vibrant Pittsburgh members from across sectors and industries in an informal, interactive, and participatory atmosphere to collaborate and deepen knowledge. Breakout rooms are used sometimes; there is no requirement to appear on camera.
