If you want to attract diverse talent to your organisation, it’s essential that your recruitment processes are inclusive – they provide you with the first opportunity to showcase your offering to potential employee. From our lived experience, we know that the way your recruitment process is presented to candidates plays a huge part in their decision to apply or not to apply to your organisation.

Employers and recruiters often do not realise the number of barriers people with long-term conditions face throughout the recruitment process, and how much of a difference even the smallest of actions can make. From the wording you use in job advertisements to making adjustments during interviews and assessment tasks, conversations around disability disclosure to creating a paced onboarding process, there are so many things that can open up the role in question to a whole new talent pool of candidates.

Astriid’s Inclusive Recruitment Training is delivered virtually by our acclaimed team of lived experience experts, all of whom have their own experiences of facing barriers when searching for inclusive job roles. This session covers:

• The business case for employing people with long-term conditions and their value in the workplace

• Health-related and social barriers faced by people with long-term conditions when entering the workforce
• Creating inclusive job adverts, key phrases to incorporate, and writing descriptions that welcome people with long-term conditions to apply
• Guidance to ensure your platforms and processes are accessible and inclusive for potential new talent
• Reasonable adjustments during job interviews and assessment centres
• Responding appropriately to disclosures of long-term conditions, complying with anti-discrimination law and facilitating confident conversations

• Positioning your organisation as an employer of choice for skilled people with long-term conditions

This session is interactive and engaging, featuring short videos and stories from real-life case studies and plenty of opportunities for discussion and reflection. You will also hear first-hand testimonies about the numerous benefits of hiring people with Energy Limiting Conditions, and cover the basics of inclusive language for this community.

After the session, you will receive a downloadable resource that will include topics that are covered.
