About: Identifying, Decoding, Recognizing & Challenging The Language We Use in Workplace Recruiting
Have you ever found yourself in a moment, searching for the right words, worried that what you might say could unintentionally offend someone?
Building on the impactful groundwork laid by our first Increase Diversity™ Summit, which explored "Who is Qualified?" tackling bias in recruitment and retention, we shift our focus to the equally vital question: "How Do I Say It?". The 2024 Increase Diversity™ Virtual Summit Experience will guide participants through the complexities of Effective Language for Inclusive Recruitment and Retention Strategies.
Who Should Attend?
This conference would be especially beneficial to anyone who directly hires or influences hiring, including workplace leaders and executives, DEI practitioners, Recruiters (corporate and agency), Human Resource Teams, Human Resources Managers, Hiring Leaders, and Career Coaches.
How Do I Say It? Why Inclusive Language Is At the Forefront of Your Diversity Recruiting Strategy
Navigating the nuances of diversity recruiting can feel daunting. Many leaders, recruiters, hiring managers, and interview teams hesitate, not from a lack of commitment to diversity but from a fear of misspeaking or inadvertently causing harm. This apprehension can stem from:
The worry of using ineffective language might create more harm than good.
The concern of facing backlash for something you’ve communicated despite good intentions.
Recognizing and overcoming these fears are essential steps forward. The language we choose plays a pivotal role—it can either create inclusive environments where everyone feels seen and heard or unintentionally exclude and alienate.
What to Expect: Empowering Diversity, Inclusion, and Retention in Recruiting
Effective language communicates our intended message clearly, while ineffective language can lead to misunderstandings. Embracing this distinction is a key part of our journey towards becoming more effective allies.
To provide deep insights and practical guidance, we've invited experts to share their unique perspectives on choosing and using effective language.
Participants will leave with the following:
The ability to skillfully analyze the question of How Do I Say It?, examining effective language from various perspectives and its importance in not only recruiting, but the workplace as a whole.
A deep understanding of how to leverage the power of Lived Experience Intelligence™, enabling them to understand effective language in hiring and retention programs with remarkable effectiveness.
Conference Schedule
A VIRTUAL Journey Towards Inclusion AND EFFECTIVE ALLYSHIP
“How Do I Say It?: Effective Language for Inclusive Recruitment and Retention Strategies” will feature six engaging speaker presentations. These sessions, delivered from experts representative of several marginalized communities, are designed to inspire and involve you, offering a blend of presentations, participation in Lived Experience Intelligence Breakout Sessions, and a chance to ask questions directly during a Q&A segment.
We’ll cover critical areas, including Gender: Binary, Gender: Non-Binary, Disability, Veterans, Neurodiversity, and Sexual Orientation, aiming to broaden our understanding and refine our approach to communication.
The Summit also features two 30-minute panel discussions that will dive into the Language of Race (Anti-Racism + Inclusion) and the Language of Intersectionality. These discussions are set to enrich our collective understanding and enhance our empathy.
