Best Practices on Recruiting, Hiring, and Retaining Diverse Talent
There are a lot of resources that describe a variety of best practices when it comes to recruiting, hiring, and retaining talent. Start by checking out CSU’s DEI Employer Best Practices Handout. We have also included several examples of organizations who have successfully prioritized DEI in their workplace and other helpful best practice recommendations.
DEI Employer Best Practices Handout
This document provides suggestions of best practices for employers to consider related to the recruitment, retention and support of diverse talent. While not stated explicitly in the document, diverse talent refers to a range of identities represented among candidates and staff, including ability, gender identity, race, social class background, sexual orientation, and religion. The compiled suggestions on these documents are not meant to be an exhaustive list or a checklist, but are a starting place for idea generation and a way for businesses to explore what other organizations are prioritizing related to their workplaces. We will continue to update this document as industry trends and workforce needs shift.
