This section will outline how to make sure your recruitment, promotion development processes are fair and help to maximise talent and diversity within your organisation.
Diversity is central to effective recruitment and promotion strategies. It enables organisations to access the best talent by recruiting from as wide a pool of potential applicants as possible. The tools in this section will help you to review your recruitment strategies to ensure that you are attracting and recruiting from as wide and diverse a pool of talent as possible; ensure that your recruitment processes are objective, transparent and fair; and enable you to operate within the law.
Promotion is also part of an organisation’s recruitment strategy and therefore it is vital that talent is managed correctly. This should include placing equality and diversity procedures at the heart of any promotion you undertake. This is not only good practice but can also establish your organisation as ‘an employer of choice’ which, in turn, can have a positive impact on your ‘bottom line’ however large or small your organisation is. The tools on this page provide an overview of good practice in promotion and talent management.
Developing workers is essential for the success of an organisation. Your strategy should focus on developing and supporting new workers, developing and retaining current workers and attracting highly skilled workers to work for your organisation. In order for diversity to be effectively managed in your organisation you will need to undertake training of your workforce of the issues involved. You should ensure that you have an equal opportunities policy covering training – i.e. that training is offered and accessible (including those staff that work part-time, flexible hours or on shifts).
The tools on this page are designed to help you effectively develop the talent within your organisation as well as to understand the elements of legislation which impact on workforce development.
