Description:
In today’s evolving workplace, creating an inclusive culture that embraces innovation requires hiring beyond traditional culture fit. This session dives into the idea of hiring culture misfits—those who bring fresh perspectives and challenge the status quo—and explores how embracing people on the fringes (BIPOC, neurodivergent individuals, introverts, etc.) can propel your organization to new heights. We will discuss practical ways to nurture these hires, ensure psychological safety, and create a culture of belonging that allows all employees to thrive, especially those who have historically been excluded.
Through this webinar, you'll:
- Learn strategies for identifying candidates who can challenge your existing culture in positive ways and drive innovation.
- Understand the importance of psychological safety and how to create an environment where culture misfits and people on the fringes can thrive.
- Explore how diversity in thought, perspective, and background—particularly from those on the fringes—can unlock new growth opportunities for your organization.
