Inclusive Hiring

This workshop focuses on how Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) is an integral component of the recruitment process, and the ways in which it increases our talent pipeline. It
is more important now than ever to attract and retain outstanding talent.
Understanding successful recruitment practices that are inclusive is not just a “nice to have” – it is a must. In order for us to foster innovation and increase our bottom line, we must commit to hiring individuals from various backgrounds that can introduce new thoughts and perspectives.

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility fundamentals
The benefits of inclusive hiring
The legal implications
Biases in the process and how they influence your hiring decisions
Biases in the recruitment cycle
Identify and commit to action

The workshop is intentionally designed to be interactive and engage with participants. Several methods will be used in this workshop including presenting, role playing, case studies, and table discussions.

Cultural Celebrations

There’s no better way to celebrate our differences and commitment to inclusion, diversity and belonging than by holding an event. There’s an important energy that comes from bringing people together, whether in-person or virtually.

So, whether it’s finding a way to celebrate Pink Shirt Day, International Women’s Day, National Indigenous Peoples Day, Orange Shirt Day or one of so many other important international and local celebrations, we will make sure the event you host is both fun and memorable.

Events can range from small education sessions, to large lobby events, to multi-day summits featuring workshops, moderated panels and plenary speakers.
