Hiring the best person for the job isn’t just an abstract goal - it’s essential for innovation, productivity, and economic progress. In this 30-minute Inclusion Essentials webinar, we take a closer look at the concept of merit and explore how inclusive hiring practices can sharpen our ability to identify top talent.
This introductory session is ideal for anyone involved in recruitment who wants to build stronger, fairer teams. Whether you're a hiring manager, HR professional, or decision-maker, this webinar will help you rethink how merit is defined - and how more inclusive processes can unlock the full potential of your candidate pool.
Diversity Works New Zealand Advisory Services Consultant Dejealous Palota-Kopa will cover:
- Understanding how perceptions of merit are shaped, and sometimes distorted
- How bias shows up in recruitment
- Steps toward inclusive hiring
