Planning to interview members of the Class of 2022 for job openings? They may be the ones asking the tough questions, not you.
Make sure you’ve prepared your company’s equity and inclusion résumé. Practice your elevator pitch so you can describe what your organization is specifically doing to mitigate inequities and injustices in the workplace. You should also be ready to discuss solutions to rectify systemic racism, the gender wage gap, underrepresentation of people of color in C-suites, hiring practices that disadvantage trans and nonbinary applicants, and other workplace inequities.
To successfully recruit – and more important, retain – new graduates, employers must demonstrate programs and support systems that promote workplace equity and foster the long-term success of students who come to work for them. Today’s students who are preparing to enter the workforce won’t accept anything less, and employers risk losing a generation of talented workers by being unaware of changing times.
