More than three-quarters of employers say inclusion is critical to attracting and retaining talent, yet many are moving away from talking about "DEI" altogether. As business priorities shift, talent acquisition teams have a unique opportunity to keep inclusion firmly on the agenda by reframing the conversation around commercial impact, better hiring outcomes and stronger employer brands.
This session will explore practical examples of how leading organisations are evolving their approach, why language matters, and the practical steps TA can take to champion the future of inclusion, whilst delivering measurable business results.
What to expect:
- Reframing DEI for today's business landscape around commercial outcomes and hiring quality
- Building inclusion into every stage of hiring, not as a separate initiative
- Using AI responsibly, combining automation with human oversight to support fairer decisions
- Positioning inclusion as a driver of business performance and better hiring outcomes
- Measuring the impact of inclusive hiring through business, recruitment and talent metrics
