Those involved in recruitment, selection, hiring and onboarding functions for non-academic employees hold special responsibilities when conducting these activities. This workshop provides a foundation of knowledge that will support our
institutional efforts to have consistent and widespread integration of inclusive hiring practices.
During this workshop, participants will explore implicit bias and how it can impact decision making; consider ways that bias is can be present in our hiring processes; practice applying mitigating tactics and strategies to address bias
in the hiring process; and review the resources in the hiring toolkit that support an inclusive hiring process. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: describe ways that implicit bias shows up in the hiring process and apply practical
strategies and techniques to mitigate individual and systemic bias.
This is an interactive workshop and includes small and large group discussion, individual reflections, group activities and case studies where you will be able to practice and develop your skills.
