5 ideas to build a better workforce

Many companies’ efforts to improve diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) took a hit throughout the pandemic. Now let’s make a new push for DEI.

Unfortunately, COVID-19’s effects on the workplace worsened many of the inequities that HR pros and organizational leadership had worked to lessen.

For instance, people of color were less likely to be in roles that were remote-friendly. Women with childcare duties who couldn’t take on remote roles were likely to leave work. And employees with disabilities such as hearing loss found it more difficult to work remotely, making them more likely to resign.

The strategies are:

• Broaden your view of DEI
• Look to veterans
• Stretch your search
• Partner with marketing
• Rethink, redo requirements
