During the Increase Diversity™ Summit Experience, attendees will embark on an intentional roadmap, gaining profound insights into how bias subtly infiltrates recruitment and promotional processes.

Through engaging talks, interactive breakout sessions, and thought-provoking panel discussions, participants will challenge conventional norms, expose hidden biases, and explore actionable steps to foster more inclusive practices.

The event draws inspiration from the intersection of TEDx and Human Resources, offering a unique opportunity to inspire and empower attendees. The Increase Diversity™ Summit Experience addresses the critical milestones of finding, attracting, engaging, selecting, employing, and retaining individuals from historically underrepresented backgrounds.

By unraveling the truth about bias in workplace recruiting, this summit empowers participants to revolutionize their approach to diversity recruitment without compromising excellence or causing harm.

Critical Discussions & Insights at the Increase Diversity™ Summit Experience:

  • Who is Qualified?: Exploring bias through six hiring and employment stages.
  • Understanding Safe Spaces: Fostering an environment where individuals can show up authentically, without fear of being perceived as unqualified.
  • Who gets ahead, who gets left behind, and why?: Leveraging data to uncover bias in selection decisions.
  • Professional and Polished with a Pedigree: Understanding how the traditional idea of “professional, polished, and pedigree” distorts our ability to equitably assess who is and isn’t qualified.

Renowned consultants from Jennifer Tardy Consulting will bring their expertise and experience to the event. Among them, Jenn Tardy, a Recruitment Thought Leader and CEO of Jennifer Tardy Consulting, will share her passion for increasing diversity and her journey to empower employers and job seekers.

On the subject of bias, Jenn commented, "The greatest challenge we face while standing on the front lines of increasing diversity and retention in our workplaces is the biased lens through which we too easily perceive and assess an individual as either qualified or unqualified."

Session leaders include Brittany Crichlow, Detrice Batten, Emily Hart, and Dee Milfort, all providing unique perspectives and insights from their direct work with clients, DEIB consulting backgrounds, and Lived Experience Intelligence™ to the summit.
