Many organisations point to recruitment as their biggest challenge and pain point within Diversity and Inclusion. This taster session is designed to provide attendees with invaluable insights to help them understand their own biases (often unconscious biases) that affect our perceptions of the world and those in it.

Recruitment is a process that is impaired by our human errors and judgement which impacts heavily on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. To combat this, attendees will gain the necessary tools to become more self aware with useful strategies to break bias, both personally and in their own workplace.

They will explore a holistic approach in attracting and retaining a more diverse workforce and how that is complementary to an inclusive recruitment process. They will gain top tips, best practice approaches and will be equipped with useful and relevant strategies that they can implement immediately.
