The Inclusion Committee is holding a webinar titled, “Attracting Talent from Underrepresented Groups”.
Our industry needs more people to join, and we all agree it’s imperative to look beyond the usual recruitment channels. Many of us have already become creative and are managing to attract people from a wide range of backgrounds. Join us to find out what has worked for them.
We will touch on areas such as:
- widening recruitment channels
- inclusive job descriptions
- inclusive employer branding
- taking away barriers to entry
- creating a level playing field
- inclusive selection
- inclusive on-boarding.
Join us for an insightful webinar led by Inge Woudstra,
the Diversity and Inclusion Program Manager at iMasons. With her extensive experience as a diversity and inclusion expert, Inge has helped numerous organizations develop and implement inclusive cultures and recruitment processes. She has a proven track record of increasing diversity in engineering companies, with one client experiencing a significant increase in female applicants and overall staff diversity.
