Colleagues,

The ACRL Diversity Alliance Taskforce is hosting a series of webinars on diversity residencies, inclusive hiring, and onboarding for inclusion and retention. Here is the invitation for the second  webinar.

The Process and Impact of Inclusive Hiring

This presentation will explore perspectives on inclusive hiring practices from both sides of the table. Grand Valley State University Libraries developed inclusive recruitment and high-empathy hiring practices, which they implemented in 2018. The Dean and a past diversity resident team up to dissect the hiring process from both of their perspectives. Annie Bélanger discusses the work behind critically examining the existing hiring process, designing an inclusive recruitment plan, and implementing a new structure in order to ensure empathy to applicants going through the process. Preethi Gorecki then discusses the impact of inclusive hiring on perceptions of the work environment, satisfaction with the search, and overall experience of the hiring process.

Presenters:

• Preethi Gorecki, Communications Librarian at MacEwan University
• Annie Bélanger, Dean of University Libraries at Grand Valley State University

February 28^th @ 2:30 EST / 1:30 CST
