For too long, job descriptions have included the obligatory 2-3 sentences that state the institution’s commitment to diversity and an equitable working environment as a demonstration of commitment to DEI. However, today’s job seekers are looking for more than just a few sentences: they are looking for a demonstration of behaviors. Job seekers need to read an inclusive job description that showcases your institution’s core values throughout the job posting.
Join us for this free discussion-based session to help you generate quality candidate pools by using more inclusive language in your position announcements. Through facilitated discussion and idea-sharing with our instructor and your peers across the nation, we will:
Discuss how incorporating inclusive language can increase the diversity of your application pool.
Identify ways to arrive at a job description that communicates the values of your institution.
Provide examples of specific language and phrases you can incorporate into your job descriptions.
