Building LGBT Inclusive Workplaces: Engaging Organizations and Individuals in Change
Webcast:
A new Catalyst study finds that a lack of awareness about LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) employees can lead to hostile work environments, exclusion from important relationships, fewer advancement opportunities, and a lack of role models. In the US, the proposed bill "Employment Non-Discrimination Act" would make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on sexual orientation, a measure supported by President Obama.
As Canadian laws already protect LGBT employees, this Canadian-based study demonstrates that organizations and individuals must go beyond legislation and make concerted efforts to establish an inclusive workplace for all. We'll hear from the authors of this ground-breaking study. more »

Cascading Gender Biases, Compounding Effects: An Assessment of Talent Management Systems
Webcast:
If it sounds counter-intuitive, it is! Gender biases and stereotypes can be unconsciously embedded into the very talent management systems created to develop and promote the best and brightest. Even organizations with the most sophisticated TM systems are vulnerable to gender bias.
And when leadership characteristics reflect traits exhibited by a company's top, predominately male executives, the results may have profound impact on a company's long-term success in developing and promoting the best talent and disadvantage talented women, according to Catalyst's latest report, Cascading Gender Biases, Compounding Effects: An Assessment of Talent Management Systems. We'll hear from the author of the report in this webcast. more »
Translating the Military Resume
Webcast:
Even with higher unemployment and more job candidates on the market, employers still report difficulties finding the best and most qualified talent. One solution: hire a veteran! The military has a large number of jobs that are compatible to the private sector.
The barrier for most hiring managers is understanding what the vet did during his or her service. Translating military lingo, job titles, and salary ranges are just a few obstacles businesses and ex-military candidates face. This webcast will illuminate how to do just that, share resources and explain what interviewing questions a hiring manager can and can't ask of a veteran.
Attendees of the webcast will receive a free copy of "The Value Of a Veteran: The Guide for Human Resource Professionals to Regarding, Recruiting, and Retaining Military Veteran" from www.thevalueofaveteran.com. more »

Expanding the Scope: Writing a New Definition of Diversity
Webcast:
Diversity in business today is a key component of effective management of human capital. It is the optimization of individuals, recognizing the unique skills and abilities they bring to a challenge and leveraging them to find innovative solutions.
Today's thought leaders recognize that their corporate market value is defined by the talent of their people, and the ability to produce break through concepts and industry shaking ideas.
In this Webcast we will examine how it is precisely that edge that enables capturing emerging markets and increasing market share in an ever more competitive global economy. We will view how valuing differences, recognizing intangibles and empowering the imagination are the outcomes of today's new approach to diversity more »
Targeting Candidates in a Specific Demographic: You Won't Attract What You Don't Understand
Webcast:
Recruiters that overlook the data in their company's affirmative action plan may be missing out on a powerful opportunity to inform their sourcing activities. After all, the AAP is based on the candidate pool available in your geographic area and it follows that understanding, and targeting to resolve, your specific under-utilization is a valuable way to reflectively increase employee diversity.
Making the decision to do more than meeting compliance goals is the first step. Sourcers need to also understand the priorities of potential candidates. Demographic research, partnerships with niche organizations, community involvement, and good old-fashioned moxie contribute to greater understanding. How can we leverage the tools available to us to target candidates in a specific demographic, and should we? more »
Recruiting the Largest Minority: Disabled Workers
Webcast:
U.S. Census Bureau announcements released in 2007 put the number of people with disabilities at 51.2 million, or 18 percent of the population. Research shows that disabled workers stay longer. Advances in technology have made providing accommodations easier to implement and more cost-effective. In a rapidly-shrinking labor market, can your organization afford not to recruit candidates with disabilities?
CVS Caremark, the nation's largest retail pharmacy chain, made a commitment to hire candidates from every aspect of the communities they serve. As a result, CVS Caremark was a 2006 recipient of the Secretary of Labor's New Freedom Initiative Award for exemplary and innovative efforts in furthering the employment and workplace environment for people with disabilities. The company is a member of The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) Circle of Champions, a distinguished group of U.S. employers that works with the agency to help inform disability employment policy by sharing proven business strategies. more »
Where Am I on the List? Re-evaluating Diversity in Corporate America
Webcast:
Many companies participate in bids for placements on various "top companies for diversity" lists, but what do these lists really measure? Is a top ranking really indicative of an organization's true commitment to diversity and inclusion? In this session participants will take a hard, and somewhat critical look, at corporate America's current diversity ranking system and explore some alternative measure of success.
In this webcast, you will be encouraged to challenge the meaning of diversity rankings and to explore alternative definitions of diversity success. We'll also discuss an employee-focused methodology for measuring diversity achievement in your organization, and uncover practices designed to gauge your own success based on criteria such as equity in pay and promotion, work-culture assessment, and diversity at all organizational levels. more »
Operation Hiring: Incorporating Ex-Military into Your Recruiting Strategy
Webcast:
Reintegrating soldiers into the civilian workforce is a national challenge. With over six million young veterans in the US, employers should be leveraging this skilled talent pool to solve their talent shortages. Yet according to a US Department of Labor report, the joblessness rate among young veterans, aged 20-24, was double the national average for all adult workers in 2006. Why are organizations not recruiting this talented workforce?
For many, lack of knowledge is the barrier. The armed forces have a unique language that imposes communication difficulties both on the employer and the soldier. Understanding how a military job translates into a civilian career is another challenge. Finding appropriate resources can be overwhelming. In this webcast, we'll hear from a Naval Recruiter turned corporate sourcing manager on how to start a military hiring program. more »
Bridging the Language Diversity Gap in Hiring
Webcast:
Language diversity (and employees with mastery in more than one) has become a business imperative for many organizations. In the creation of a culture of inclusion between employees, customers, and job seekers, it is necessary to learn how to abandon antiquated hiring biases about candidates that look or sound "like me."
It may also be a challenge at your organization to properly assess language skills when a job demands that a candidate be bi- or tri-lingual. How are corporations educating talent acquisition professionals and line managers to overcome their emotions about things like job candidates with accents? Do assessments exist to evaluate language skills? Join us for the last webcast of the year in Diversity Sourcing and Recruiting. more »
