Overview

This 2-3 hour workshop aims to provide an informative and interactive session to help organisations improve the diversity of their recruitment pool and subsequent successful applicants. By highlighting how unconscious bias and gendered communications can have an impact on your recruitment outcomes we will help you identify ways you can ensure that you are getting access to the best talent in the market.

WISE Approach

Our approach is to provide your team with credible research, insights and facilitation to inform your business planning and to help you capture ideas, decisions and actions that will improve gender balance within your organisation.

Content

• Behavioural Science – thoughts on removing bias from the recruitment process
• Gendered Communication – hints and tips for female friendly recruitment ads
• Image Conscious – a picture paints a thousand words
• Inclusivity - making it personal

Exercises

Pre engagement: Attendees will be asked to identify and contribute examples of recruitment advertising that they think are good or poor practice.

During the session: Attendees will get the opportunity to discuss and test out masculine and feminine orientated language and to debate the initial impression created by typical company websites and communication channels.

Post engagement: Attendees will be invited to complete the Wise Inclusivity Profile and reflect how they can enhance their own personal behaviours as a champion of inclusivity.
