HRchat Podcast How HR Can Prioritize DEI with Simon Dealy, HIRE Technologies
Organizations everywhere are embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles to create workplaces that can attract and retain top talent.
For forward-thinking talent leaders, an inclusive and equitable work culture that involves employee well-being is a critical part of the overall strategy. Why? Because, when evaluating their career opportunities, candidates and employees are seeking more inclusive environments that are better aligned with their values.
In this HRchat episode, we consider the latest staffing trends, driven by both employees and employers, that prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
