Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) are integral to the success of businesses today. It is well-established that organisations with diverse workforces are more likely to financially outperform their peers and excel in areas ranging from employee retention to innovation. Leveraging different perspectives contributes to a more complete understanding of opportunities and issues, fostering better decision-making and competitive advantages.
Despite the strength of the business case, very few organisations can however say they are truly inclusive. Leaders are making pledges to do better at building more inclusive organisations but the challenge for many is knowing where to start and where to focus.
This is where Talent Acumen can help by challenging our clients to consider each role’s parameters and actively engaging with the broadest range of candidates so that we access the most diverse talent pool (often beyond the immediate sector). We partner our clients to help them to create a DE&I strategy by either providing an external benchmark or proactively mapping the market to identify & engage a diverse pool of talent for your hiring requirements.
Talent Acumen is committed to increasing the recruitment of under-represented groups, collaborating with diverse networks to strengthen our reach, and identifying & removing barriers and bias from our processes.
