Build belonging on June 16

Join us on June 16, 2021, for the next event in the series. Building Belonging is an interactive DE&I event all about helping you hire for a more diverse, inclusive and higher-performing company. During this full day of engaging workshops, panel discussions and more, you’ll get guidance for turning your DE&I hiring goals into actionable strategies.

Building belonging is everyone’s responsibility

Successful businesses are built by talented individuals, but unconscious biases in people and systems can get in the way of finding them. A structured hiring approach can help you build more diverse, inclusive teams – and this event will show you how.

As mentioned in Talent Makers: How the best organizations win through structured and inclusive hiring, when it comes to building a culture of belonging, we all have a role to play. Talent practitioners can guide hiring teams toward more equitable interviewing and hiring practices that limit bias. Business and talent leaders have the power to influence through their actions and policies. But none of this happens automatically – it all takes intentional effort and strategy.

For diversity initiatives to be successful, leaders within the organization need to play an active role and set the tone for company-wide participation and support.
–Porter Braswell, Co-founder and CEO of Jopwell, in the Talent Makers book

The interactive format of Open Forum will help you gain the tools and strategies you need to create fairer and more equitable hiring practices. You won’t just walk away inspired – you’ll have a clear idea of specific steps you can take.

Hiring is one critical aspect of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts: it directly influences representation within organizations, and it is a core process where organizations have an opportunity to embed equity and inclusion into their decision-making.
–Joelle Emerson, Founder and CEO of Paradigm Strategy, in the Talent Makers book

Here’s what to expect

Sessions at Building Belonging include Mindfulness and diversity: Discover the science behind bias and how to create change with compassion, Embracing inclusive leadership in a remote/hybrid working world and How to foster fairness and inclusion: A guide for recruiters and hiring managers.

Attendees can expect the same interactive learning experience that’s synonymous with Greenhouse – from customer success stories to thought leadership discussions you won’t want to miss.

The digital event format allows members of our Open community (that’s you!) to participate, learn, collaborate and network with peers and experts. You’ll have the chance to join networking roundtables, which will be focused conversations on DE&I topics.

We hope you’ll join us on June 16 for Open Forum: Building Belonging, where we’re bringing together the best minds in hiring and DE&I. All sessions are free to attend, so register now to save your spot.
