Diversity Recruitment/Retention

Diversity recruitment is the management practice of ensuring that a company recruits a qualified pool of candidates from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, American Indians, people with disabilities and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Best practices in successfully acclimating these employees, as well as fully developing their talent, require full use of employee-resource groups, which are company-sponsored groups focusing on traditionally underrepresented groups that augment business goals, including recruitment, retention and talent development.
