Why metrics are key to measuring DEI progress

Sep 14, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

In modern organisations, data is critical. We use it everywhere from Finance to Compliance, Sales, and Customer Success to make decisions, identify problems, and improve processes. But one place where organisations often trip up on their data is with DEI — because it’s not always as clear-cut as measuring revenue, profits, or customer retention.
The impact of unconscious bias in recruitment

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

If we think about it, the hiring process never really was built equally for everyone. Part of the problem is that it’s always relied on humans — and humans are notoriously biased. We’re biased about what kind of names we expect to see on a CV, for example. We’re biased about the type of person we imagine in a role. We’re biased about physical appearance, someone’s university, or even the sports team that they like.
5 strategies to reduce time-to-hire in talent acquisition

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

Hiring is time-consuming — and time is money. According to 2022 data from SHRM, bringing a new employee onboard and bringing them up to speed can cost between three to four times their salary. Meanwhile, a lengthy time-to-hire can add an even greater cost burden, because when a role sits open, it means your team has to cover the shortfall for longer. Strategies to reduce time-to-hire and cost-per-hire depend on your organisation’s individual recruitment goals.
How to evaluate your organisation’s level of DEI maturity

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

It’s often said that building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable organisation is an ongoing journey, not a finite process. And while continuous improvement is key to increasing your organisation’s overall sense of belonging, it’s hard to know where to start on implementing positive changes without first knowing where you’re starting from. If you set big goals before you’re ready, it’s likely to feel overwhelming.
Why inclusive images on company websites are important for DEI

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

Every second we spend on the internet, we’re being bombarded with images. You might not notice most of them as you’re scrolling through your Instagram feed, your online grocery shop, or even applying for a new role. However, for people from marginalised groups, each image represents an opportunity to feel exclusion and discrimination. And when you’re trying to build a more inclusive, equitable company, this is the last thing you want. But don’t worry — we’ve got you.
Creating career growth opportunities

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

All organisations know that growth and development are an essential driver for long-term employee happiness and job satisfaction. When employees know that their organisation is committed to their future growth, they’re more likely to give their best each day. Critically, they’re more likely to stay with you for the long haul.
Why intersectionality matters for creating an inclusive workplace

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

Humans have always liked giving things labels — even other people. And when we’re talking DEI, that can lead us into a few snags. “We have this habit as a society of putting people into simplistic boxes when it comes to their identity,” explains Alex HL Taylor, DEIB researcher and intersectionality specialist at the University of Sussex, UK. “But that does a disservice to the fact that identity can be fluid.”People can be many different things at the same time.
Practical steps for mitigating unconscious bias in the workplace

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

According to 2021 data from Arctic Shores, one in four organisations considers unconscious bias as their number one recruitment challenge. But beyond unconscious bias training (we’ll get to that in a minute), what practical steps can organisations implement to make real progress on mitigating its impact and build a more inclusive workplace?
Navigating resistance to change in diversity and inclusion initiatives

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of progress and awareness on DEI. Organisations understand its value beyond its bottom line benefits — and many, for the first time, are committing to it on a scale that has never been seen before. But while awareness is moving in the right direction, progress is still slow. That’s because even with the best strategy, DEI leaders still face huge resistance to their efforts internally. We all know that DEI is good for businesses and for humans.
Strategies for gaining organisational buy-in for DEI

Sep 13, 2023 | developdiverse.com | Camille Hogg

When we’re talking about DEI, we often hear the word ‘buy-in’ a lot. And while it might sound like business jargon, the simple truth is that without the right support and resources across your entire organisation, your well-intentioned DEI efforts may not come to fruition. Getting buy-in, and establishing diversity and inclusion as a strategic objective, are essential for making measurable progress.
