💡 In our guest blog in collaboration with our partner , we discuss this exact topic - how any organisation can quantify diversity.

📣 Here’s a fact that cannot be disputed: if your name is James or Emily, you will find it easier to get a job than someone called Tariq or Adeola...

But what if your organisation is rolling out training? Doesn't that help? Apparently not.

💡 Prof Edward Chang at Harvard Business School who led one of the most rigorous trials commented “Diversity training is unlikely to be an effective standalone solution, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be an effective component of a multipronged approach to improving diversity, equity and inclusion in organisations.”

👉 At MeVitae , we agree with this multi-faceted approach and believe that our Blind Recruiting solution is a valuable component to reduce in companies.

👉 "Saying you want to hire the most qualified person for the job, but you systematically hire a white male every single time. This implies you really believe that every time, in every instance, for every job opening, a white male has been the best and most qualified candidate.

Take a pause and reread that last sentence. Reflect on it for a moment and then tell me if you still believe there is no in your recruiting and process." - powerful words from Stacey A. Gordon, MBA,
