Webinar: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the Recruitment Process.

Posted on March 8, 2023March 8, 2023 by natan fisher

Last week, SingleSprout kicked off a new webinar series with The Rise Journey focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the Recruitment Process.

During this panel, our speakers took a deep dive into the foundational principles of DEI, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and embracing differences, creating an equitable and fair hiring process, and promoting a culture of inclusivity throughout the company. Other topics that came up included, how to attract a diverse pool of candidates, with the panelists discussing the importance of not falling into the trap of tokenism in the recruitment process. Rather, companies should focus on true representation.

Overall, the Zoom event provided valuable insights and practical tips for companies to improve their DEI strategies in the recruitment process. By implementing these strategies, companies can create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace.

Don’t have a DEI Recruitment Strategy? Remember, DEI is a continuous journey, not a one-time initiative. Hire someone who knows more and can help in a Full Time, Part Time, fractional, project-based, etc. Additionally, hiring a DEI project manager or ERG manager can be a huge support to keep track of momentum on initiatives.

Compensation: Let’s Talk About It & Effective Planning

Posted on January 18, 2023January 18, 2023 by natan fisher

SingleSprout and AllVoices led an insightful conversation around Compensation & Effective Planning.

Lessons learned from our event with AllVoices: It all starts with a compensation philosophy. Here are 5 tips when developing your compensation philosophy and pay ranges.

There is no one-size fits all approach, and no company is 100 percent right.
Develop a basic compensation philosophy, as well as compensation levels & bands. Even a basic framework will be helpful to guide decisions. Over time you can develop greater competencies, and get more complex or specific.
Which compensation types are available to you? Salary, Short-term incentives or bonuses, Equity, Allowances or Perks, or Year-End Bonuses? Understand available options constraints
What are you trying to achieve? Are you worried about retention, how people are going to progress, reward structure, promotions, transfers, new hires, or competition?
Cost of Living vs Cost of Labor. The cost of living varies by location, highly driven by personal preference. So when we look to build ranges consistently, the metric that most compensation professionals use is Cost of Labor because it’s driven by supply and demand.
