lthough unconscious bias training isn’t a cure-all solution for those looking to increase inclusion, making the
unconscious conscious at both the individual and organizational levels of Executive Search is imperative for
those who would like to see progress in the Diversity & Inclusion outcomes for their clients.
At MIX Diversity Developers we have seen a steep increase in the number of global and national companies
requesting training for their managers on ‘inclusive leadership’ so that they are capable of attracting, inspiring
and influencing people of all genders and ages, with different cultures, abilities and lifestyles. Internal recruiting
managers are being upskilled in how to recruit in an inclusive manner. Their knowledge of unconscious bias and
how to mitigate its impact is increasing. In parallel we are seeing a skills gap amongst some search consultants in
this area. Consequently we have designed a training resource on Inclusive Recruitment to attempt to reduce this
gap. For further information, visit MIX Diversity Developers.
