The jury is out! Diversity significantly contributes to greater profitability. A 2019 analysis by McKinsey & Company revealed that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 25 percent more likely to have above-average profitability than companies in the fourth quartile. Additionally, top-quartile companies in terms of cultural diversity outperformed those in the fourth quartile by 36 percent in profitability. That said, many companies are genuinely interested in leveraging diversity for greater financial and social performance. However, various common biases may be interfering with effective recruiting and retention of diverse talent.

During this engaging session, the facilitator will utilize social science, current events, humor, and role-playing to provide participants with a greater understanding of the following:

● The main types of bias that impact talent management
● Tools to interrupt common forms of bias during the interview process
● How to eliminate bias from the evaluation process for greater retention
● Best practices for more inclusive work environments

We will learn how to manage our biases in order to facilitate interviews that lead to greater inclusion for enhanced company performance.
