I organized a webinar panel with some of my customers on hiring and retaining a racially diverse team. This conversation was specific to race but may be helpful in other areas as well. The biggest takeaways were:1) Make sure you have diverse people in your talent pool and if you don't, ask your recruiting team to work on getting you more diverse candidates (and be willing to wait on filling the role until that happens) 2) Partner with organizations that support and empower people of color (or other groups)3) Keep privilege in mind. Women and people of color in the talent pool may have less experience because of systemic racism and sexism. Experience doesn't always indicate solid performance. And, if you've embraced the idea that diversity on your team will lead to better team performance, the new perspective may be as or more valuable than professional experience.
4) Encourage your team to attend DEI events and make sure your team is inclusive so that people of color (and other groups) want to work on your team.
Happy to brainstorm further if you'd like!
