Equitable HR Through the Employee Lifecycle

Impact Organizations of Nova Scotiawas founded in December 2012 (as The Community Sector Council of Nova Scotia) to act as voice for the nonprofit and voluntary sector, and to help build skills and capacity to help organizations be as effective as possible in their work.A core part of our work is to provide capacity building opportunities to help organizations better achieve their mission through access to high quality training, resources, and skill development. The root of our capacity building efforts is the vision of the Community Impact Sector equipped to affect positive change and address systemic inequities. Our theory is that the sector will be most impactful when organizations develop the capacity and build skills to nurture healthy workplaces, cultivate innovation, and operate sustainably.

Session one of the HR Lunch and Learn series - Attraction and Recruitment

Equitable HR for the Employee Lifecycle

Join us for our HR Lunch and Learn Series taking place in February and March!

In the Equitable HR Lunch and Learn series, leaders will learn how to design equity centered recruitment, orientation, training and retention practices that foster welcoming workplaces in the Community Impact Sector. This series will introduce the “Whole Human - Whole Organization” framework as process to apply your organizational values and practices of empathy in support of your organization’s strategic aims. This “Whole Human - Whole Organization” process begins with:<ul><li>Identifying the current and future needs of the team or organization (observations)</li><li>Reviewing and assessing the culture and capacity of the organization (feelings)</li><li>Designing a recruitment and interview process that supports clarity, shared understandings and connection to shared purpose (needs) in contrast to the practiced questions and practiced answers that are the norm.</li></ul> In each of the sessions you will have access to foundational training content and equity considerations for the entire employee lifecycle from recruitment through retention. We will walk through real life scenarios and have time for a Q&amp;A with our HR resident expert, Leonie Smith.

<h3>Session 1: Attraction &amp; Recruitment</h3>By the end of this session you will be able to attract and retain values aligned employees by:<ul><li>Creating job descriptions and postings that create a fuller picture of the opportunity you are offering</li><li>Sourcing equity deserving candidates through job boards, referrals, and agencies</li><li>Conducting interviews and assessments with an equity informed lens</li><li>Selecting and hiring the best candidate</li></ul>
