HP Continues Diversity Push With Promise to Fight Bias in Its Hiring
Posted in: Uncategorized
HP Inc. is advertising its commitment to reduce bias among its hiring managers with a new video that begins by showing a series of black job candidates on interviews that conclude with the dreaded words, “We’ll be in touch.”
“When qualified for a job,” text on the screen explains, “African-Americans are 3x more likely to experience a denial.”
“It’s intended to raise awareness around the ingrained biases that exist in the hiring process,” said Lesley Slaton Brown, who was named HP’s first chief diversity officer in 2015 after the company’s split with business-focused counterpart Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. “It’s meant to wake people up and get people talking about this,” she said.
