How To Build The Right Diversity Recruiting Strategy - WalkWater Talent Advisors

1
In the times of today, diversity is required
within an organization for the best results.
But, diversity is a long journey, and focusing on
diversity recruitment can help build an
inclusive and equitable team that fosters
belonging. In order to have a team of diverse
candidates, whats needed is a diversity
recruiting strategy that defines the goals,
action items, and the people responsible, focused
to increase diversity in a company, while also
tracking successes and failures so that the team
can consistently grow and learn.

• By building such a strategy that everyone on the
  team can see, understand, and be held
  accountable for, results will certainly be seen.
  Youll have to invest a good amount of time and
  effort into your strategy, which is your first
  step to making your values and company culture
  clear. After all, you want to build the right
  team that is diverse and inclusive.
• The first step for building the right strategy is
  analyzing what youre currently doing, even if
  youre doing something thats not too good to be
  called successful. To identify this, youll have
  to ask a few questions, such as asking your team
  how they feel you are doing regarding diversity
  recruiting, or if they

• feel like the company is inclusive, etc. If a
  few, or even one, of the team members feel like
  they dont feel psychologically safe, youll have
  to consider what you should do.
• Remember, diversity is something different for
  every team. So, what youre doing will not match
  what another is doing. You can thus bring in an
  expert consultant to help define your particular
  goals in a better way to make sure
• that they stick. The goals may include defining
  diversity, increasing diverse candidates,
  growing diverse hires, and increasing promotion
  of diverse team members to leadership roles.
• With diversity defined, and goals identified, you
  are now ready to define roles and actions for
  each candidate. So, move towards defining
  distinct roles and actions items to particular
  people, so as to create a system of
  accountability, and thus increase the chances of
  success.
• Making decisions without data results can result
  in unstable decisions, which you certainly dont
  want. So, youll have to break down your goals
  into KPIs that can help you measure the right
  data, gathering it and adjusting it as required.
  Some data sets can include identifying the
  candidates that are sourced, interviewed, or
  lost in the journey.
• One other important aspect about a diversity
  recruiting strategy is that it is an
  ever-changing process. So, if you think youve
  done it successfully once and
• for all, so theres nothing to worry about in the
  future, youre wrong. Youll have to keep
  adjusting and testing new theories every now and
  then, to strive to be better.
• Hence, with a diversity recruiting strategy,
  youll be able to create an entirely new culture
  and environment at work. It may seem overwhelming
  to tackle, but the results are worth it. So, you
  can always hire WalkWater Talent Advisors, one
