Given the current climate of economic uncertainty, businesses are facing a multitude of pressures, from the impact of rising inflation on organizational costs to the scarcity of talent and skills. Throw in the growing importance of employee experience and CPOs really have their work cut out trying to balance the needs of both the business and staff alike. .

We know that a company’s biggest asset, in terms of success, growth and innovation, is its people. However, when it comes to attracting and hiring the best talent, this is often seen as “someone else’s” responsibility. But hiring is a team sport. It is up to everyone – from leadership and TA to hiring managers and HR – to be engaged, informed and aligned on this front.

“Language informs behavior. How we speak informs how we treat people.”. We all know the power that words occupy, particularly when it comes to diversity. Used wisely and with compassion, they can make people feel included and at ease. But, words also have the capacity to cause offense, even if that isn’t the intention. And with the language surrounding diversity being so nuanced, it can often feel incredibly overwhelming to get it right. .

While there is nothing new about working remotely, the scale at which it has been adopted over the last twelve months has been staggering. An option that only a small section of the workforce were able to benefit from became a life raft for many organizations. Necessity forced its implementation, but the results spoke for themselves. So even as we slowly begin to transition back into society, remote work isn’t disappearing.

I learned something very valuable recently. Just because I am a gay man, it doesn’t mean I am an effective ally. It seemed almost jarring to realise. Surely, because I’m a member of a marginalised group, it must automatically make me more aware and sympathetic to the plight of others in the workplace? But that’s not how being an ally works. While, yes on one hand, I have some personal experience of discrimination and can identify it to varying degrees, my lens is still quite myopic. .
