What do you get when you mix a South African, over 20 years of HR and EDI experience, and a microphone? A bloody good podcast - that's what! (episode in comments ⤵) Myra Cooke breaks down an effective EDIB strategy with a level of clarity that I loved: 🤝 Talent Acquisition (external): build an effective strategy to attract and hire from all backgrounds and ensure that they're treated fairly in the recruitment and assessment process. I'll share a link to Instant Impact's best practice guide here. ❤️ Inclusion & belonging (internal): ensure that you look at everything internally through an inclusion and belonging lens. That's everything from the big stuff (progression pathways, recognition, etc) to the small stuff (where you host your events, whether you close for Christmas etc). 🛒 Marketplace (this was a new one for me): look once again at all of your customer-facing branding and content. If that's not inclusive then neither is your employer brand! 🌐 It HAS to be systematic - piecemeal change doesn't work. Myra - you're an inspiration. #deib #podcast #hr #people
