Navigating the future of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace.

- The use of AI in DEIB initiatives including the identification of pitfalls, the challenge of algorithmic bias and lack of human connection. Plus, strategies to mitigate them fairly and responsibly.

Skills – paving the path to a more diverse workforce

How skills-based hiring can drive DEIB in recruitment.

With more companies looking to shift towards a skills-based hiring approach, we will explore how this could affect Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) outcomes. Many organizations are moving away from relying on previous work experience and education to hiring for aptitude and potential. This is allowing organizations to make more equitable decisions based on an employee’s full range of skills, rather than their past experiences.

In this webinar, our panel of industry experts will explore:  

- Where to begin when preparing to move to a skills-based approach.

- How skills-based hiring can tap into diverse talent pools overlooked by traditional methods.

- How to influence leaders and hiring managers who are sceptical of this approach.

Panelists

Michelle Hainsworth - Managing Director, AMS Talent Lab

Rocki Howard - Founder and Chief Diversiologist, Diversiology.IO

Jeff Schwartz - VP of Insights and Impact, Gloat
