Inclusion | 3 essentials to hire diverse talent

Inclusivity in any hiring process is something many leaders hope to achieve. Despite this, statistics have revealed that diversity at leadership level is still lacking.

For example, stats published by The McGregor-Smith Review discovered that just 9.7% of executive positions in FTSE 100 companies are held by women, while a report shared by Grant Thornton found that the average number of ethnic groups represented by senior management teams worldwide is 1.5.

These stats demonstrate that more needs to be done when it comes to hiring diverse leaders into a business, but how exactly can businesses adapt their hiring methods to make change?

Toni Irving, an expert in leadership, organisational behaviour and business ethics and Professor of Practice at Darden School of Business, has shared some key solutions for hiring and developing diverse talent.
