Equitable Hiring and Onboarding

The reality of inequity in the workplace is well documented, and our current system of recruiting, hiring, and training employees does not work well for everyone involved. The resources below offer information, recommendations, and guidance as you structure your processes for developing positions, recruiting and hiring candidates, and onboarding your employees.

We know that systemic inequity will not be solved overnight and it will take a significant investment of time and resources to yield change. However, the benefits of a diverse workforce are also well documented, and we encourage employers to continue learning, changing, and adjusting their practices to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in their workplaces.
