QUESTION 38 OF 40

How can a company best embrace diversity in their hiring plan?

The interviewer wants you to discuss ways that you believe a company can strengthen its focus on workplace diversity. As a Human Resources Manager, you know that companies that embrace diversity will see many trickle-down benefits. For example, companies that embrace diversity and inclusion gain new perspectives, better problem-solving methods and often see an increase in employee creativity. Additional benefits include a boost in employee engagement, which resulted in less turnover. When it comes to profits, a company can see an increase in sales because its reputation improves, and its employees feel more attached to the company mission.

"I believe that embracing diversity within a company starts with the talent attraction process. First, recruitment efforts must draw in diverse talent pools. To achieve this, we should cast a wider net for attracting a range of talented individuals. When it comes to the interview process, a company can have a diverse panel of interviewers and decision-makers vs. leaving the hiring decisions to a group of similar individuals. A company can also embrace diversity by providing sensitivity training to all hiring authorities and leaders. Last, all hiring managers and decision-makers should be aware of the range of workplace issues to avoid making unintentionally discriminatory hires."
