There absolutely is. In this video, Aggie Mutuma invites search agents to challenge limiting beliefs and blind spots related to the abundance of Black talent in the employment pool. Aggie suggests new ways of sourcing diverse recruits beyond tried-and-tested familiar methods – such as engaging with relevant networking groups and specialist firms that represent diverse groups – as intentional actions that can bring about brilliant results. Aggie also addresses retention of diverse candidates, citing how positive ‘people practices’ help build a working culture where diverse candidates will feel valued enough to stay. We explore how clarity around role expectations, allowing employees to feedback and share ideas, honest assessment of employee visibility within a company and fair allocation of professional development opportunities all promote successful and lasting working relationships. Aggie champions safe-space conversations as a great remedy for plugging potential gaps that can allow talent to leak out of the businesses that need it.
