To identify employers with a commitment to diversity and inclusion, a good place to start is to look at lists of companies that follow best practices in hiring a diverse workforce:
Lists of top places to work are a good place to begin your search, but there are additional ways to identify an organization’s commitment to diversity and inclusion if that is important to you at your place of work.
Investigate the culture: Ask questions to investigate the programs and practices in place to create an inclusive culture and influence retention. Are there mentoring programs? Are there affinity or resource groups for employees? Is there diversity at all levels of the organization? Are there equal retention rates for employees regardless of race, gender, etc.?
Evaluate the benefits: What is their parental leave policy? Whom do they allow as dependents on their healthcare plans? Is their healthcare and other benefits inclusive of all identities and cultures? What accommodations do they provide for employees with disabilities?
Social resources support the ability to create harmony in one’s relationships with others, demonstrate effective communication skills, develop the capacity for healthy intimacy and cultivate a support network of caring friends, family members and/or community partners. Find your people & build connections - These resources are all related to cultivating spaces that encourage and promote healthy relationship building and networking.
