Teachers and students must "register" their political views?

32. We adjust our targeting based on it

When we look at hiring, let's say for example we're getting tons of white applicants and few black applicants. So our first question will be to look at where we're advertising for hires. Are we missing some bias or lack of knowledge on our parts where we're unintentionally promoting our jobs to white communities? Is there an unconscious bias in how we're approaching the labor pool?

This actually was an internal problem for promotions at a location a few years ago. We like to promote from within. However, the head of a department was only advertising the promotions within their let's say circle. Well, this was noticed and we wondered how that was happening. After some quicky research into the matter, we discovered people outside the group were simply unaware of the promotional opportunities.

So that got changed right away.

Once we made sure everyone was equitably made aware of the opportunities, our applicant pool diversified.

This being in California, the LGBT community has been increasingly included in this process. I've had conversations about this for days and days with co-workers. Unless you're slapping ads in the Advocate, it's a lot harder and trickier to really treat the community the same way we do to achieve racial diversity. LGBT are everywhere in every race and every sex and gender.

I just don't feel like any benefit is coming from it. I honestly think it's just there for a "We're accepting" signal at this point. Which, fine. But people will still not want to answer it.
