Welcome back to Hire Potential with Indeed. In this week’s episode, we will discuss ‘Avoiding Tokenistic Hires.’ Diversity in the workplace refers to an organisation that intentionally employs a workforce composed of individuals of varying gender, religion, race, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, education, and other attributes. Today we are joined by Madeline Hill, General Manager, Diversity and Inclusion at Randstad Australia, to discuss why it is important for businesses to eradicate the practice of making only a perfunctory or symbolic effort towards facilitating a diverse workplace – especially by recruiting a small number of people from underrepresented groups to give the appearance of sexual or racial equality within a team.
