Although there is more diversity at entry- and mid-level positions,
representation declines as underrepresented populations (LGBTQ community, people with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, and women) face barriers when advancing to more senior positions within their organizations.
Several factors contribute to this imbalance such as unconscious biases, exclusionary succession planning, and lack of support groups.
Learn how to go beyond attracting diverse candidates — to retaining and developing them in your organization. Join us for a conversation to discuss how to create and adjust policies that mitigate inequities and provide tangible solutions that keep diverse talent engaged.
