Inclusive Hiring and Talent Systems

A diverse and inclusive workplace depends heavily on equitable talent systems. How an organisation attracts talent and makes decisions about hiring, development, promotion and succession planning – not to mention who makes those decisions – will have a profound effect on not only the diversity of your people, but also your workplace culture as well as overall organisation performance.

Symmetra helps global organisations identify and implement inclusion best practices that are designed to remove systemic and behavioral obstacles to DEI in any point in your talent lifecycle.

The Impacts Inclusive Hiring Provides

Organisations that we have assisted in making their hiring practices more inclusive have reported:

Improved employee satisfaction and less employee turnover

Companies that practice inclusive hiring tend to also be open, accepting, and free of discrimination. This leads to happier employees who feel loyal to their company.

Greater company-wide innovation

Having a diverse team of employees invites new ideas and perspectives which fosters cultures of creativity and innovation.

Increased profitability

A diverse team of employees who are happy at their jobs because their unique perspectives are valued leads to overall improvements in performance and productivity.

Improved company reputation

Being known for inclusive hiring practices brings a positive association of social responsibility among job seekers and other key stakeholders.
 

Ensuring your Systems are Inclusive and Fit-for-Purpose

At Symmetra, we understand that every business and the industry and regions it operates in results in different challenges for recruiting, developing and promoting diversity. That’s why our global team of DEI experts will take the time to really get to know your organisation and understand the specific strengths, challenges and blind spots in your approach, to provide fresh insight and remove the barriers that are preventing your organisation from being truly inclusive and equitable.
