Centering Equity: Anti-Racism in Recruiting and Hiring (Q3 2024)

Description

As we build a Race Equity Culture™ in every workplace we need to examine how we introduce and invite new colleagues into our organizations. This workshop invites junior and senior HR professionals and hiring managers to reimagine that first point of contact with colleagues - the recruiting and hiring process - as their first opportunity to lead with equity.

During this two-part, interactive workshop, principal consultants from Monday Morning Consultants, Erica Nicole Griffin, PhD and Jamie Joanou, PhD, will lead discussions and activities that highlight common aspects of the hiring process and how to apply anti-racist updates. Those aspects include, but are not limited to:

• Writing position descriptions
• Advertising and networking for the role
• Interviewing
• Releasing candidates
• Salary
• Onboarding

Our aim is to help HR professionals shift their paradigm away from maintaining processes that reinforce white supremacy culture toward Race Equity Culture™.

After sincere engagement in this two-part workshop, participants should be able to:

• Articulate how candidates with lived-experience are best suited for roles
• Identify ways to ensure they recruit a representative candidate pool
• Divest from the arbitrary emphasis on pedigree
• Set clear expectations for salary and avoid negotiations that perpetuate pay gaps
• Utilize reference checks as an onboarding tool
• Reject tokenism

Note: Erica Nicole and Jamie bring over ten years of expertise in national and international recruiting for senior and mid-level roles. They have partnered with countless hiring managers and led dozens of successful searches across four countries. Learn more at the www.MondayMorningConsultants.com

PRICING

Equity In The Center® is now using a tiered pricing model to better align with best practices among equity-focused organizations.

We ask that organizations purchasing tickets on behalf of their staff purchase tickets in the tier that aligns with your organizational budget and sector. And for individuals, we ask that people with greater privilege purchase tickets at the higher end, which will allow individuals with historically less access to wealth, disproportionately BIPOC folks, to pay the lower fees. EIC's new tiered budget categories are based on Rockwood Leadership Institute's pricing model.

Partial scholarships are available.
