Are you tired of looking for productive, loyal employees in an era of chronic talent shortages? Do you want to know how innovative businesses successfully recruit and retain refugees with limited English, the formerly incarcerated, and people with disabilities?
Hidden Talent shows how ten companies, from a global tech firm and a major hospital to a small painting company, effectively invest in this marginalized and routinely overlooked talent-and the practical lessons they have learned on that journey.
Loaded with practical steps and best practices, Hidden Talent shows how to:
Identify specific opportunities for employing refugees, the formerly incarcerated or people with disabilities. Use 5 interviewing tips from a former inmate turned business owner. Onboard non-English speaking employees more effectively. Successfully employ different levels of talent on the autism spectrum. Train supervisors to engage more effectively with marginalized workers. Build productive partnerships to create new talent pipelines.
Hidden Talent is packed with useful lessons from businesses that are already profiting from these over looked sources of great employees. If it was easy, every organization would be accessing these labor pools. But it's not. This book shows how innovative leaders tackle the challenges of hiring employees they would have ignored in the past. Learn how investing in marginalized workers can change your company's performance, culture and, perhaps, your life.
