Go Remote

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

"It takes dedication and hard work to constantly improve yourself."

"No gesture is too small when done with gratitude."

Here are six ways HR teams and corporate leadership can provide more diverse benefits to attract top talent.

1. Pre-start incentives
Companies and organizations need to ask themselves, “Does our internal culture reflect a good working environment?” For example, some are allowing new hires to take the initial days, even weeks as paid time off at the start of a new job, during which they can rest, get organized and feel ready to start a new role.

2. Prioritize pay equity
Now is the time to review market pay rates and ensure that everyone at the same level and function in your organization is paid fairly and equitably.

3. More equitable hiring practices
People with the right background will take time to train, so those with transferable skills shouldn’t be automatically eliminated. Use this as an opportunity to look for candidates who might have otherwise been passed over and may provide fresh perspectives, adding diverse value to a company.

4. Ensure there is safe space for all via employee resource groups
Employee resource groups help support staff members in identifying with others in their spaces, and also help build communities within a company.

5. Recruit from diverse communities
Another strategy is to encourage employees to refer colleagues and diverse candidates from their personal networks, but be careful not to rely too heavily on such referrals.

6. Publish diversity reports
There are many companies, such as Slack and Google that have led the path into publishing diversity reports, holding themselves accountable to the world while also providing an example for others to follow.
