A roadmap to inclusive leadership: inclusive hiring practices (key no5)
Today, I’d like to dive into key no5, a topic that’s not just close to my heart, but one that should be a cornerstone in every organization: inclusive hiring practices. Adopting inclusive hiring practices isn’t just about ticking boxes or looking good for your shareholders or the public. As leaders and managers, we’re in the people business, and people come in all shapes, sizes, and abilities.
If you’ve been following our series on inclusive leadership, you already know how crucial it is to nurture a culture where everyone feels valued and respected. This new key is also very important on our inclusive leadership roadmap. Why? Because for most people, this will be the entry point to your organization. After all, you can’t have a diverse and inclusive workplace if you don’t hire diversely and inclusively. That makes sense, right?
For this conversation, I want us to welcome back our friends Sarah and John — two amazing people managers that we’ve met in previous posts in this series. Individuals who not only talk the talk, but also make sure to walk the walk! Both are full-fledged disability inclusion champions at their organization. But I also want to bring back another regular to this conversation, and that is Khaleem. You might remember him from previous posts and resources on this site as well…
