Removing Bias from the Interview Process

Chaka Booker, Chief People Officer, Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation

Chaka will be leading an interactive keynote presentation on removing bias from the interview process. Regardless of what industry you may represent, the success of any organization hinges on the talent inside. Building teams through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion has been proven to lead to strong cultures and high-performance outcomes. In this presentation, Chaka talks with us about how bias shows up in our interviews, why we should take a deep look at the term “culture fit” and how we can manage our organization's most important investment - our people. Attendees will walk away with tactical tips on things to do before, during, and after the interview to ensure bias is not a part of the selection process.
