Building a Culture for Inclusive Recruitment & Retention By Tony Tolliver, Senior Director of Partnership & Impact

The pressure to attract and retain the best talent has never been greater. The good news is that there are a lot of talented people, who represent the voice of your customers, looking for opportunities for a job like the ones you offer. But how will you attract them? And, if you attract them, how will you keep them?

Our conversations with human resources leaders and other executives on their equity and inclusion journey often go something like this: “We can’t find people of color to fill our roles, and when we do find them, we can’t keep them. What I’m really trying to say is, I’m committed, but we’ve tried everything, and nothing is working.”  Sound familiar?  How often have you felt the same way? You need more employees, you want to be a part of building a more racially inclusive community, but nothing is working.
