About this event
In the ever-evolving landscape of DEI, the focus on creating inclusive workplaces continues to shape the future of organizations worldwide. As we stand on the threshold of a new phase in DEI, one crucial aspect that demands attention is the hiring process.
Join us for our September webinar where we'll delve into the strategies, challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead in the realm of diverse and equitable hiring practices with our expert panel of industry thought leaders and DEI advocates, Torin Ellis (Principal @ The Torin Ellis Brand), Israel Gutierrez (Former TA Leader @ Axios & The New York Times), and Rocki Howard (Chief Equity & Impact Officer @ The Mom Project).
During the session, we'll explore...
- The evolution of DEI in the workplace: how it has transformed over time, its current significance, and the path it's likely to tread in the future
- The complexities of AI-driven hiring tools, exploring their potential benefits and addressing concerns about bias and fairness
- The pivotal role of a strong TA/DEI partnership in driving DEI values throughout the hiring process and fostering an environment where diversity thrives
