Question 3 of 30

What strategies have you deployed to address diversity issues in the workplace?

"As the leader of a mid-level organization, I must be conscious of potential biases occurring in the workplace. This year I led our company in a new technology implementation meant to reduce bias in the talent screening, hiring, and evaluation processes. As a result, our hiring process has become fair to genders, races, religions, and other social categories. The process is not perfect; however, we have seen a significant increase in diversity hires and a boost in overall company morale."

  • 3. What strategies have you deployed to address diversity issues in the workplace?

      How to Answer

      There are many strategies available today to address diversity issues in the workplace. Significant diversity issues that a company can face may include a lack of acceptance or respect between employees, gender equality, little accommodation for varying beliefs, lack of accommodation for physical disabilities, and generational gaps.

      The interviewer would like to know if you have ever deployed strategies to address any diversity issues in the workplace. If you are a leader in an organization, you may have more experience in this area; however, any employee can take actions - big or small - to improve company diversity efforts. Some ideas include improving how discrimination or harassment complaints are handled or using hiring and screening technology that reduce unconscious bias.

      "I have not deployed a strategy but I would recommend software that removes the name of the person in the resume so people can not unconsciously assume the race or gender of the applicant which can affect if they get hired."

      Amanda's Feedback

      If you have not established strategies to address diversity issues in the workplace, you can hypothetically discuss strategies you think would be beneficial such as deploying staff training, collaborating to create effective corporate D&I guidelines, or giving regular opportunities for employees to increase the quality and quantity of conversations about diversity occurring in the workplace.
