This series follows the employee lifecycle—from hiring through development and retention—anchored in equity, emotional intelligence, and human-centered systems. Each 60-minute workshop functions as both part of a progressive learning journey and as a stand-alone session.

Series Outcomes

By the end of the 5-part series, participants will:

• Understand how equity and inclusion apply across all stages of the employee lifecycle.
• Develop practical tools to embed equity, emotional intelligence, and transparency into HR systems.
• Strengthen their ability to coach, evaluate, and lead teams through equitable, human-centered practices.
• Commit to actionable steps that advance belonging and accountability within their organizations.

Session 1: Recruitment and Onboarding

Explore how to attract, interview, and onboard talent through an equity-centered lens. You will learn how traditional hiring practices replicate bias, and how inclusive job design, accessible onboarding, and culture-add approaches can create belonging from day one.

Key Concepts: Inclusive recruiting; bias-checking in job descriptions and interviews; transparency in process; accessibility audits; culture-add vs. culture-fit.
