Where can we improve if we want to become better at hiring a more inclusive and diverse workforce?

This is a question we are often asked by organizations committed to fostering a more inclusive workplace. Recognizing that every company is unique, identifying specific areas for improvement often requires a concrete analysis.

One effective way to start this journey is by engaging your team in open and honest conversations. On the Involved platform, leaders and employees can anonymously exchange and rate each other's responses, gaining essential knowledge and insights into the group's views on inclusion readiness, recruitment processes, and attitudes toward hiring people with disabilities. This collective wisdom forms the foundation for a focused effort to break down barriers and create new opportunities.

To assist you in this important endeavor, we've prepared a set of reflective questions that you can use on the Involved platform. These prompts are designed to stimulate meaningful discussions and help you identify actionable steps toward a more inclusive recruitment process.

Reflection Questions

1. How would you describe our organization's ability to recruit and hire people with ability variation today? Why?
2. What are the critical moments in our recruitment process that impact our ability to recruit people with varying abilities?
3. What do you think hiring leaders think about candidates with varying abilities?
4. Imagine our organization is the most inclusive workplace in five years—what did we change to get there?
5. If you could wave a magic wand and change one behavior, what would you stop?
6. In an ideal world, what behaviors would you like to see far more of?
7. How can recruiters support diversity and inclusion in our organization? Share practical tips and success stories.
8. Is there anything important for today's topic that has not yet been covered?
