IDEA Best Practices
Implementing best practices for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the interview and hiring process is essential for creating a more inclusive workplace. Strategies include implicit bias training, posting jobs on diverse platforms, using blinded resumes, asking DEI-focused interview questions, and having a diverse committee. Additional practices involve creating DEI newsletters, hosting events like URM Alumni Panels, promoting diversity statements, and providing DEI-focused lectures and club discussions.
