Expert Answer
Diversity at workplace, as rightly pointed out, is important and challenging both. If I am recruiting, I would plan the following steps:
- If I publish a vacancy advertisement, I would clearly highlight that these positions are open to all irrespective of gender, religion, nationality, age etc. The purpose is to grab the interest of diverse applicants.
- From the complete list applicants, I will shortlist a fixed number of candidates to be called for interview/test etc. While doing so, I will make sure that the list of shortlisted candidates has diversity in right proportion.
- After the interview/test etc. is comleted, I will make sure that candidates are selected from diverse background, nationality, gender etc.
- I will also try to maintain diversity at all levels.
- And at last but not the least, while ensuring diversity, I will make sure that right candidates are selected without compromising the right skill.
