Everyday Diversity™ An Introduction to Diversity Recruiting & Hiring
Are you curious how diversity can help your team be more innovative and impact your culture? To begin, we need to know that diversity is a term that doesn’t apply to just a few things … like race and gender… diversity also encompasses people from different cultures or regions of the country. Or, it could be people of different ages or educational backgrounds.
Everyday Diversity™ Avoiding Bias in Hiring
Bias impacts how we see candidates and often limits our ability to find and hire the best talent. Why? Because we often make assumptions about the candidates. Everyone makes assumptions about others... it's a natural part of how we interact with each other. Probably more times than we'd like to admit, we let appearances impact the way we think and treat others.

When it comes down to it, these filters impact how we perceive and understand the world around us. The key is learning how to use these filters to our advantage!

FMLA - Reduced Schedules & Leaves

A serious health condition or disability may require an employee to work a reduced schedule.
FMLA - Returning to Work
