Just hire the best people, nothing else matters.

[@anaiyasmommy1]

Hire the best people from diverse and qualified candidate pools. There is a reason why Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 exists. There is a reason why the EEOC still exists. They exist because in the United States, there was a time not to long ago when the “best” was synonymous to a specific demographic. And that ideology is still baked into our systems and institutions. It is further exacerbated when hiring managers and HR staff are not actively interrogating their biases.

@@patoshannessy3775 Your comment exemplifies that it’s legacy continues. People are still being impacted by redlining. I will never “get over” the subjugation and dehumanization of human beings. Would you utter such a vile remark to the Native Americans? The mindset you demonstrate is the reason why history often repeats itself.

This is such an important topic! And one every business should consider and address. Thank you for sharing!

If you’ve noticed most businesses with DEI have lost its popularity. They’re not hiring the best workers anymore.
