Inclusive Hiring and Retention Practices Guide for Employers

In alignment with the University of Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder’s Diversity & Inclusion Vision, Career Services encourages its employer partners to approach recruitment and retention through a diversity and inclusion lens.

This means:

  • Maintaining a commitment to diversity and inclusive excellence as demonstrated through clearly defined company culture and infrastructure to support a respectful environment for all employees.
  • Creating a space where employees’ identities are valued through effective communication, developed professional trust and impactful decision-making.
  • Enhancing work-life experiences of employees by supporting and advocating for their emotional well-being as well as their equitable access to resources, division of work and promotion opportunities.

Our office is here to ensure you are successful in your inclusive hiring and retention goals. It’s our goal to help employers increase their allyship with the various groups on campus such as Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI); Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC); and/or the Lesbian, Gay, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual and more (LGBTQIA+) communities, among other affiliation groups.
