Course Overview

Employers who intentionally incorporate DEI strategies in the recruiting and retention plans and processes are far more likely to win the competition for talent.  Recruiting efforts are wasted when hired talent leaves an organization.  To maximize effectiveness, organizations need to focus efforts on more than recruiting; the same effort needs to be applied to engagement and retention as well.  This course helps you gain an understanding of why hiring diverse talent is smart business.  You will also explore how to set diversity goals for your recruiting, engagement, and retention efforts that won’t inadvertently violate anti-discrimination laws. Additionally, you will learn strategies for widening the talent pool and ensuring talent management processes and practices are impartial and inclusive.  You will also discover the link between your DEI values and your employer branding, how to build a strong DEI culture, and incorporate DEI in your engagement and retention plans.
