You are more than welcome to join the discussion. Here are three ways you can:
– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message
– Send email feedback to mark@thevoiceofjobseekers.com
Here are highlights from our discussion:
- Melissa is influenced by her experience working with highly diverse successful teams and homogenous teams oblivious to bias
- In her experience, homogenous teams was a vacuum of creativity because everyone thought alike
- She says that diversity and inclusion positions and teams achieved a good start
- Removing bias from the hiring process will mean removing the identities of the individuals from the eyes of employers
- The focus for employers is to focus on what individuals can do and the requirements to do the job, and everyone is treated fairly
- We discuss racists vs. bias and how much of a challenge it is in the process – “No one wants to look in the mirror and think they are part of the problem.”
- Melissa says, “Bias is the human shortcut.”
- There needs to be more than blocking out the name on a resume to rid of bias in the hiring process
