By being proactive in this space, recruitment agencies of all sizes can ensure that individuals feel welcome and valued whilst ensuring they\u2019re attracting and retaining top talent for their agency.<\/p>\n<p>Wright said, &#8220;As a leader, I wouldn&#8217;t want to think that someone is leaving my business or clients&#8217; businesses because they don&#8217;t see anyone else that looks like them or they can&#8217;t be their true selves.&#8221; She continued, \u201cit is important for recruitment agencies to not just pay lip service to DEI, but rather to actively practice it on a daily basis.\u201d This means as an industry \u201cwe need to practice what we preach but also work with clients to help them not have bias in their hiring processes\u201d, Christine explained.<\/p>\n<p>The importance of inclusivity cannot be overstated. &#8220;Inclusivity matters every single day&#8221;, Carter said. Flaherty agreed with Jacky\u2019s sentiment and added \u201cwe need to open up and challenge our people\u2019s bias and lead by example as a leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>HOW to put a focus on DEI at your agency<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Start with a conversation<\/h3>\n<p>Not sure where to start tackling DEI initiatives at your agency? Often it\u2019s as simple as starting a conversation with your team!<\/p>\n<p>From the conversation, ideas start to flow and all of a sudden your leadership team is involved to drive actions from that initial spark. \u201cWhatever the strategy, it has to start from the conversation\u201d, Patrick stated. By having a conversation you\u2019re opening up communication within your agency and creating awareness of other people\u2019s backgrounds and perspectives to be able to understand them better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be creative with how you start the conversation &#8211; Try this with your team:<\/strong><br \/>\nShare X number of facts or quirks about yourself then bring in other team members to do the same. By doing this you start to learn something new about each other, your background, likes and dislikes to create conversation. This can be rotated between consultants on a round robin basis so there\u2019s always something new to learn from your team.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Be proactive not reactive<\/h3>\n<p>Implementing DEI plans takes time, as it\u2019s an ever evolving process. You must be consistent with your messages to ensure your team is onboard at every step of the journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t react, you need to plan. You need to pick one thing and do it really well\u201d, Christine said. If you don\u2019t do this you risk alienating your team with mixed messages. \u201cDon\u2019t go too big too quickly\u201d, Christine urged. Rather focus on one area of DEI that is important to your team, implement it and ensure you have ongoing clear actions to sustain your efforts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gather your people\u2019s experience &#8211; Try this:<\/strong><br \/>\nGain a pulse on your team whether large or small by asking them a series of questions. This may be done via employee engagement surveys or a casual conversation over coffee. You\u2019ll be surprised at the number of new ideas you\u2019ll gain to take action on! Ask them their thoughts on what the company could improve.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Benchmark for success<\/h3>\n<p>One piece of advice Jacky shared was to \u201cbenchmark where you are now\u201d. At Hays, they worked with a company called Hatch who spoke with their team about how they felt about inclusivity at Hays. The consultants were asked about their experiences in different scenarios, such as their experience when returning from maternity leave or their experience as a new starter in the company.<\/p>\n<p>This gave Hays a really good benchmark. If they go back to do the survey again or track it internally, they will be able to see progress. \u201cDon\u2019t look for perfection, look for progress\u201d, Jacky said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start small &#8211; Try this:<\/strong><br \/>\nYou don\u2019t have to include your whole agency to kickstart DEI programs. Pilot programs with a smaller focus group of 2-8 individuals. Try to create diversity of thought in your focus group by selecting people with different skills, from different departments, age groups and genders.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Interested in more insights from Engage Sydney 2023?
