Attracting and Retaining Diverse Talent

Perspective

Diversity within the workforce is important as it drives higher performing teams and greater team culture. In this session we will examine how Amy recently led a program to increase diversity within a major mining organisation.

We’ll look at how you can attract and retain a diverse workforce in a sustainable way. Focusing on how Amy designed and set up a program to train and embed these individuals within the workforce, rotate through different teams and ultimately find the right place in the organisation for them.

Learn how having a person-centred approach was important to match the talent within the right teams and ensure they felt supported and empowered while coaching and mentoring them on their journey. This ultimately saw diversity within the workforce increase, across gender, LGBTQ+ and Indigenous employees with low attrition and higher employee satisfaction.

  • People focused diversity hiring is important but ensuring the right supports and mechanisms are in place is key to success.
  • Don't forget about the rest of your workforce, bring them on the journey.
  • Promote internally to create space for the new talent.
  • Inclusion is everyone’s business.
