Recruitment

The combination of multiple perspectives offers a wider set of possibilities than simple seniority. Of course crowds can be wrong… but if the process is designed carefully, with the right checkpoints and safeguards in place, crowdsourcing can bring fresh insights for wider consideration.

Why?

Powering performance through diversity, inclusivity & engagement
Increasing diversity and inclusion is not an empty slogan — it is a good business decision. Diverse input can have a big impact within organizations looking to ameliorate and mitigate the amount of cognitive bias in their decisions. It also leads to higher engagement, better quality decision-making and better organizational performance, by challenging your brain to overcome its stale ways of thinking and sharpen its performance.

Hierarchical organisations with traditional top-down decision making processes often leave employees feeling unheard, leading to low productivity and retention levels, organizational health, and under-leveraged innovation opportunities. A disengaged workforce not only drains productivity, but often suffer from excessive group think in their decisions. Hierarchical decision-making processes excludes management from good ideas, keeps most out of influencing what organizations do.

The challenge is how best to translate workplace diversity into efficient operational processes that can deliver winning decisions and solutions to boost organizational performance.
