Inclusive Talent Management, Part 3: Engaging, Retaining and Advancing Opportunity Talent

Companies with higher levels of diversity, equity, and inclusion work diligently to retain and promote Opportunity Talent. This session is designed to help aspiring Opportunity Employers avoid one of the most common pitfalls: believing the work is done once the talent is hired. This session will delve into leading practices for engaging, retaining, and advancing Opportunity Talent and explore why these are critical components for building high-impact, inclusive companies.

About the Inclusive Talent Management Seminar Series

This three-part seminar series will explore how organizations can best recruit, retain, and advance Opportunity Talent, defined as individuals from traditionally untapped talent pools who are resilient, motivated, adaptable, and actively seeking economic stability through employment.

Opportunity Talent may include young adults without a college degree, persons with disabilities, veterans, formerly incarcerated individuals, and individuals with DACA status. Proactively targeting Opportunity Talent expands a company’s talent pipeline while bringing in valuable new perspectives and capabilities.

Each 90-minute session will introduce participants to research-based best practices, highlight case studies, and provide peer-to-peer learning. Most importantly, participants will explore how to implement high-impact practices within their own companies.

The seminar series will be led by Grads of Life, a national leader in helping organizations develop inclusive talent management strategies.
