Download iCal FileWorkplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which actually started with only the "D," has roots that extend over six decades. However, over time, it has become a key factor for job candidates in their search. As stated in Monster's research:
- 86% of job seekers say they factor an employer’s reputation on DEI in their job search.
- 70% of employees expect their company to be transparent about DEI initiatives and results.
- 62% of job applicants say they would turn down an offer from a company that did not support DEI.
As a job seeker, should DEI be a key factor in your job search? If so, what should you look for to determine if an employer has established and supported their DEI initiatives? Or are they all talk?
Join us as we talk with the below HR professionals about this important topic.
- Janda Anderson, University Relations Recruiter, Comcast
- Teri McElrath, Strategic Talent Outreach Manager, S&C Electric
