Session 1:  
Equity in the Workplace - Bias in Recruiting and Retention

Session 2:  
Rethinking Recruiting
During this workshop the Step Up team will address equity in the workplace by focusing on changing our minds and attitudes. Participants we’ll learn about their own biases and the impact these biases have in recruiting and retention. We will demonstrate that recruitment and retention processes contain biases of the majority and provide tools to challenge assumptions and processes. Participants will be challenged to practice conversations that challenge assumptions and build lasting relations that improve retention.

Participants will learn:
  • What biases may we hold that we are not aware of.
  • How these biases impact employee recruiting and retention
  • How to challenge assumptions and build lasting relationships to improve 
 The War For Talent is going to get considerably worse before it gets better, and the recruiting tactics that worked for the last few years have already worn thin. In this thought provoking presentation, George will challenge us to rethink some of our most basic recruiting practices and assumptions.

Participants will learn:
  • Forget about job postings and sourcing. It’s all about talent attraction.
  • Why it’s time to stop looking for technical skills and experience.
  • Retention is the new recruiting.
  • Why you need to stop recruiting & turn your employees into recruiters.
  • How big data has discredited some of our most common “sacred cow” beliefs.
