Ahead of our Inclusive Recruitment Strategy & Practice Workshop, we discuss at the pitfalls and benefits of a socially inclusive recruitment initiative
The current economic crisis has highlighted the extremes of wealth and poverty existing in post-Covid Britain. The majority of leading professional roles in this country, from journalists to barristers, including the CEOs of FTSE350 organisations, have been privately educated.
Socioeconomic background has a real impact on careers, and many people simply do not get the chance to develop their talents and make a meaningful contribution to the workforce. At a time when recruitment and retention are the biggest challenges facing HR, it makes economic, professional and socially responsible sense to ensure your recruitment targets a wide and diverse range of applicants.
Come and hear some worrying stories and compelling arguments and learn how your organisation can benefit from a properly inclusive recruitment programme.
We are accepting questions before and during the broadcast. Please send your questions to elizabeth.smith@bfi.co.uk.
