Driving Change with Data

Applying DEI Principles in Hiring & Promotional Practices
Time: 12:30PM - 1:30PM
Description: Bias that explicitly or implicitly filters out the diversity of the candidate pool can be found in each phase of the recruitment cycle: recruitment planning, candidate sourcing, screening, interviews, reference checks, selection, and salary/benefits negotiations. In this webinar, we’ll address responses to three outstanding obstacles to recruitment and promotions for a diverse workplace: biases in recruitment planning expectations, biases in sourcing, and biases in the interview process.
Presenters: Nualita John, DEI HR Talent Marketing and Eva Jones, S&E Jones Consulting
Ways Libraries Can Support DEI & Belonging in Their Communities
Time: 1:45 PM - 2:45 PM
Description: Libraries can be venues of personal development and growth for their communities. Making everyone feel welcome and giving customers a sense of belonging is one important service that can start within the library but lead to positive lasting change beyond the library. In this webinar, we’ll discuss ways libraries can support DEI and Belonging in their communities.
Presenters: Dr. Clarence Shuler, Faith-based counselor and Author of Life-Changing Cross-Cultural Friendships: How You Can Help Heal Racial Divides, One Relationship at a Time and Kavita Das, Author of Craft and Conscience: How to Write About Social Issues
Libraries' Role in Community Health
Time: 3:00PM - 4:00PM
Description: Public libraries are trusted spaces in the community. Libraries can play a vital role in supporting community health. In this webinar, we’ll discuss ways libraries can be a partner and a resource for their communities.
Presenter: Joanne Kelly, Health Outreach Associate
