DEI/Inclusivity statement for job posters and profiles

[gobyrne]

⌨ DEI Issue

Internal users have requested brief inclusivity statements that:

• advise candidates of how we provide equitable access during our staffing /recruitment processes for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized, such as those belonging to equity-deserving groups.

• allow managers to adopt or adjust standard text on job posters to show how they are operationalizing the platform pledge to inclusivity on the ground with each recruitment process.

🦋 Expected Behaviour

Users understand how our recruitment processes integrate and use their self-declaration information if they provide it.

🕵️ Details

User feedback from DTL colleagues in other directorates indicate that statement would help to make it clear why self-declaration data is being collected during any recruitment process.

Hi @gobyrne, is this a new consultation you would like done with the other DTL teams?

A broader DEI statement was being developed but is on hold. This is on hold until that unblocks or we get further direction from Lauren.
