Did You Know?
Belonging in the workplace starts with inclusive talent management.
In order to truly create a culture of belonging, empathy, and psychological safety, you must examine your talent management processes to ensure that they are free of biases and barriers.
This will require you to ensure that your recruitment efforts are rooted in inclusive hiring practices, including how to minimize bias throughout the application, interview, and decision-making processes.
This also means that executive leadership teams must: (a) ensure that feedback and evaluation practices have been vetted through a DEI lens to interrupt cultural biases, and (b) provide training to equip leaders with skills and best practices for delivering meaningful, impactful, and inclusive feedback.
All of bci’s inclusive talent management training can be offered virtually or in-person.
