Striking the right balance between achieving a representative workforce and seeing the returns on your DE&I program doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a thoughtful approach from leaders and engaged employees. According to McCann Partners Founder and CEO, Megan McCann, in a recent Staffing Industry Analysts article https://bit.ly/45OE2qa, “Research shows that it makes good business sense not to abandon the principles associated with DE&I.” She’s right! According to a study by McKinsey & Company, companies with ethnic diversity are 39% more likely to financially outperform those with a less diverse workforce. If you’re looking for some guidance, these 6 suggestions can help you find the right balance for your organization where employees and business can thrive. #DEI #DEIB #Diversity #Workforce

Should generative AI and resumes mix? 🤔 Megan McCann’s latest blog post explores this timely topic and makes the case that candidates should not be disqualified for using tools like ChatGPT. Why? Megan argues that leveraging tools like generative AI to work smarter, not harder — on tasks where candidates must weigh making good use of their time with writing yet another resume or cover letter — makes good sense. Megan recommends looking beyond the tools that a candidate might deploy to make their resume stand out to what it’s truly about in the hiring and recruiting business: building relationships. By meaningfully engaging beyond written applications, you’ll discover if the tech talent has the potential you were looking for all along. Do you agree?
