Driving for more diversity, equity and inclusion is unquestionably critical work – but it’s not easy. Every single stakeholder in a company has a role to play in order to move the needle for the better. But TA and leaders in particular hold huge sway in this arena. They are the gatekeepers and decision-makers when it comes to what kind of talent is brought into the business and how they are engaged and nurtured.
Joining us on the show this week to dive into this topic is Kris Clelland. Kris is the Director of Talent Acquisition at Wipro and is also a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Global Council Member. Together with Holly Fawcett, they’ll discuss the importance of building diverse interviewing panels, how to create inclusive job ads, and why management needs training in how to lead and enable a diverse team.
