How to get minorities in the workplaces. We first need identifies what your needs are. Does
your workforce resemble the communities that you operate in? Do they match the
demographic that you serve or want to serve? If not, develop a hiring strategy to increase
workforce diversity.

 Talk to local organizations with community connections, including churches, cultural

institutions and colleges. They can help you connect with candidates.

 Ask employees for referrals, since they will have peers in the industry or know qualified
candidates who may be looking for work.

 Develop and implement an equal opportunity employment policy that follows the
company guidelines

 The goal is to establish a commendable hiring practice that is age, race, gender and
minority neutral.

 Create a committee to help implement the policy and come up with new ideas on how to
attract more diversity to the company. Amend the company mission statement to reflect
this change.

 Make the job more compelling to job hunters by emphasizing details that will attract a
more diverse candidate pool. Be culturally sensitive when describing what makes your
company a good place to work.

 Provide diversity training in your workplace. All employees should understand that
hiring decisions are based on finding the best candidate and not by quotas

 Also, be sure managers fully understand the benefits of a diverse workplace. They will
be implementing personnel policies so should be fully committed to supporting the
practice.

 Offer benefits such as onsite daycare, childcare subsidies and flexible schedules, and let
new hires know that you are willing to accommodate cultural and religious holidays and
diversity-friendly (but office appropriate) apparel choices.
