The Human Capital Institute - Diversity Sourcing and Recruitment Learning Track - Best Practices for Recruiting and Retaining a Diverse Workforce

As the demographic profile of the workforce changes, becoming more diverse in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, age and gender, organizations face more complexities in recruitment and retention. Different segments of the workforce respond to different messages and are found through different sources. Once recruited, diverse talent requires diverse incentives and a broader, more flexible mix of benefits, compensation and working conditions. Older workers, for example, may demand a creative mix of work/retirement options in order to convince them to remain attached to the workforce beyond the date they are eligible to retire.

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.
