Wiley Edge on LinkedIn: #emergingtalent #youngtalent #globalit (2024)

I had the privilege of attending a thought-provoking event hosted by Chapter 2 and The Ladder Group focused on a critical aspect of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)—Social Mobility. 🚀The dialogue was full of practical insights, pushing us to think about how we can make our workplaces more inclusive and equitable. 💼Key Takeaways:Applying, Securing, Succeeding: We explored strategies to support diverse candidates from application through to career progression. It’s essential that our efforts extend beyond hiring to ensure all employees can thrive. 🌱Deepening Our Commitment to Retention: Inclusivity must be woven through our organizational fabric, ensuring that every employee feels valued and poised for success. 🤝Addressing Structural Barriers: Discussing social class as a protected characteristic highlighted ongoing challenges and sparked ideas on how we can be part of the solution. 🛠️There were then roundtable discussions which provided a forum for sharing actionable steps to enhance social mobility within our companies:Innovating Recruitment Practices: We discussed shifting toward more accessible apprenticeships and paid opportunities to eliminate financial barriers for entry-level candidates. 💡Engaging with Underserved Communities: By partnering with schools in these communities and hosting unique insight days, we can attract talent who might not typically be exposed to our sectors. 🌍Prioritizing Potential Over Traditional Credentials: It’s vital to value diverse experiences and skills over conventional resumes, recognizing the untapped potential that different backgrounds bring to our teams. 🔍These discussions reinforced the importance of strategic, thoughtful approaches to DEI.There's significant work to do, and with a commitment to continuous improvement, we can create workplaces where diverse talents are not only hired but are empowered to succeed.Let’s stay engaged and push for real change, ensuring that social mobility is integral to our DEI strategies.#DiversityAndInclusion #SocialMobility #HumanResources #TalentAcquisition
