Payton's key takeaways for International Women's Day:
- Celebrate Women's Accomplishments Year-Round: Focus on outward-facing DEI initiatives and celebrate women's achievements throughout the year, not just on International Women's Day.
- Support and Retain Talent: Use employee resource groups to provide support, networking opportunities, and mentorship for women. Work towards eliminating bias by training hiring managers and employees on unconscious bias.
- Fair Evaluation and Representation: Ensure fair evaluation of candidates during recruitment and promotion processes. Make bias training mandatory as part of annual reviews. Review pay gaps and parental leave policies.
- Inclusive Job Postings: Write job postings with diversity in mind, using gender-neutral wording and including diversity disclaimers. Reach out to qualified women candidates through networking events and professional networks.
- Impact of Layoffs: Recognize that layoffs can affect diversity in the workplace. Companies should continue to focus on diversity even during market downturns to avoid long-term negative effects.
- Fair Hiring Practices: Separate must-have skills from nice-to-haves in job descriptions to encourage more candidates to apply. Understand candidates' backgrounds and career goals to find the best fit for them.
- Addressing Salary Gaps: Share salary surveys to help candidates understand their market value. Encourage candidates to join user groups and seek mentorship.
- Goal Setting: Encourage individuals to set and achieve their goals by reverse engineering their objectives and creating tangible action plans. Use the Implementation Intention Plan for effective goal setting.
