Typical hiring and management practices perpetuate a lack of diversity at work.
When managers seek qualified candidates for a role, they usually start with the skills required. They often define the role in skills needed and how they want the candidate to approach the work. They don't realize that the very nature of how we frame requisitions and skill requirements limits who applies, whom we consider a qualified candidate, and how much innovation the new candidate can potentially bring to the team.
You may be asking, how can you hire a candidate for a job if you don't list skills required for the role? Three simple changes will open up your potential candidate pool and increase your team's diversity. It will also make you a more creative and adaptive leader too. Before we explore these new practices, we must first examine how our current practices limit our candidate pool and result in a lack of diversity and innovation on our teams. |
