Description du livre
From a well-known consultant and speaker, a “must-read” (Kevin Grossman) guide to identifying the pain points along the hiring and talent-development process, where bias keeps managers and recruiters from making better decisions
More than ever, companies are scrambling to diversify their workplaces. But hiring managers, HR departments, and recruiters remain largely in the dark about how to do this.
The Equity Edge lays out the hurdles that face diverse groups of job seekers and employees. At each stage of the hiring and retaining process—finding, attracting, engaging, selecting, and developing talent—managers need to challenge their idea of who is qualified for a job, and potential employees need to know how to navigate the pitfalls of bias.
Readers will learn about: The concept of “underexplored biases” we can have, from pedigree bias to competitor bias and professionalism bias The importance of having an employment brand that is separate from your corporate brand How to take into account a person’s Lived Experience Intelligence (LEI), the diverse knowledge, skills, and abilities that they’ve gained throughout their lifetime How to shift from an unrealistic bias-free ideal to a bias-aware model that promotes proactive acknowledgment and constructive action This book helps experts, leaders, recruiters, and job seekers make better decisions as they navigate the employment cycle.
