Diversity in the workplace has become an essential part of a healthy and thriving organization. According to findings by McKinsey Digital, “companies with diverse senior leadership outperform their competitors and are more successful at attracting top talent.” It’s not just about recruiting people of different ethnicities, gender, and education, but also fostering a collaborative environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can find a unique place for themselves and grow their professional capabilities. Bringing together, supporting, and promoting diverse talent across the globe is DNI’s mission.
Though the future of tech remains bright overall, start-ups and businesses are experiencing the same volatile global economy as everybody else. Professional teams looking to survive a possible recession should be seeking perspectives to contrast and complement their existing workforce and ethos.
DNI.events hosts virtual and in-person niche recruiting experiences around the world that are specifically designed to provide opportunities for teams to connect with seasoned talents from diverse backgrounds. To facilitate this, the DNI.events team reserves 50% of the available spaces for women and people from under-represented groups in tech, a rare feat in the tech industry.
DNI team pulls the curtain back and allows you to meet people behind the brand – not just representatives from talent acquisition and HR teams. CTOs who drive the tech within their company attend their events to share about their teams, tech stack, what they’re up to, and why they’re looking to hire. Dev, product, and data teams attend the event to share about their current and upcoming projects and challenges while networking with technical professionals in their field who might be a good fit for their teams.
Through these recruiting experiences, DNI provides an inclusive platform for a community of diverse professionals and recruiters alike to connect in a pressure-free and casual environment, over a drink or meal, while keeping professional growth in mind.
DNI has some recruiting experiences planned for the rest of 2022, but even more of them are set for next year in Europe, Central, and Latin America, as well as around the United States. From well-known keynote speakers to networking events, these will provide an opportunity for attendees to grow their professional network, pick up some new connections, and meet with professionals across a wide variety of industries.
In this uncertain economic environment, companies have an amazing opportunity to create a more diverse workforce. By participating in DEI initiatives, companies can help minimize the economic impact on marginalized communities while promoting a work environment that prioritizes and nurtures diverse ideas. Time and again, diversity has proven to be a net positive for both worker satisfaction and the financial bottom line. Consumers have shown time and again that they prefer products and services from companies committed to DEI initiatives.
DNI approaches hiring as a process that fosters and grows talent within an organization. By working closely with companies, DNI highlights their needs and builds personalized recruiting experiences that are geared around the company’s current niche recruitment needs. This allows DNI to generate a pipeline of diverse, top-shelf recruits for businesses looking to diversify and grow.
