3οΈβ£ The DEI module at HiPeople incorporates three different tests, each serving a different purpose. We test for Knowledge, Attitude, and Skills.
π€ Why We Test for Knowledge, Attitude, and Skills
Incorporating an assessment of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) knowledge, attitudes, and skills into the hiring process is instrumental for companies striving to foster inclusive environments.
This assessment is a valuable tool to identify candidates who strongly understand DEI principles. The evaluation helps uncover potential biases by evaluating attitudes.
Assessing DEI skills ensures candidates can navigate and communicate effectively across diverse backgrounds. Integrating DEI assessments into the hiring process is a proactive step toward building a workforce that thrives on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The 3-in-1 Diversity Test
π The DEI knowledge test assesses an individual's understanding of key concepts and issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. It covers various topics, includingβ¦
Definitions π―
Legal frameworks π©ββοΈ
Historical context
Intersectionality π₯
Global perspectives
Inclusive practices
Metrics
and more!
π The DEI attitudes test assesses an individual's beliefs, values, and attitudes toward diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Questions focus on scenarios, statements, or behaviors related to diversity and inclusion, with candidates indicating their agreement or disagreement on a Likert scale.
π The DEI skills test evaluates practical abilities and behaviors. It assesses the candidate's application of DEI principles in real-world situations, asking candidates to self-assess their frequency of engaging in specific conditions on a Likert scale.
This comprehensive approach ensures that those who join your teams understand DEI principles and demonstrate the attitudes and skills necessary to cultivate diverse, equitable, and inclusive environments.
