Our program will include the following topics:

• Tackling the taboo: Recruiting and hiring a diverse workforce

 A moderated panel will discuss real-life hiring scenarios that presented diversity challenges.

• Moving the needle: Designing a data-driven diversity and inclusion strategy

Data regarding internal movement of workers through an organization can be coupled with external candidate availability data to design intentional and measureable diversity goals.

• I know what you did last summer: Pre-hire conduct

Legal and best-practice questions will be addressed on topics such as applicant academic credentials; criminal records; compensation history; legalized use of marijuana; and use of social media to screen applicants.

• Once bitten, twice shy: Lessons we have learned
  

Our team will share lessons learned in the areas of arbitration agreements; use of non-employee workers in the modern “gig” economy; and best practices for making a first impression as an inclusive workplace.

• Disrupting the hiring experience: Small group interactive workshop

Stacey Babyak, Director of Engagement at Buck Consulting, will facilitate this interactive session.
