Q&A: Inclusive recruitment – why it’s important, how your business can benefit and how to do it

Brighton Chamber has a whole host of members who can offer expert help and Mo Kanjilal from Watch this Sp_ce is a great example. Mo will chat with Amy Lishman from Brighton Chamber about inclusive recruitment and how it can help future proof your business.

Recruiting from a diverse range of backgrounds has a number of benefits for businesses. In this session we’ll explore why it’s important to establish inclusive recruitment practices and how to make practical changes in your business to create more diverse and inclusive teams.

We’ll cover topics including:

• Why is it important to hire different types of people in businesses?
• How you can avoid falling into the trap of hiring similar types of people.
• What are some good methods to use to reach different types of people when you are recruiting?
• How you can help people feel included during their onboarding.
• What are some good ways to ensure people feel included and want to stay with you for the long term?
• How you can handle conflicts between different types of people
• What are some common traps or habits companies fall into which stop them attracting a wide variety of candidates?

You can send your questions in advance to Amy and there’ll also be a chance to submit your questions at the session.
