DEI hiring support and training for supervisors

We are pleased to announce leadership development opportunities that provide additional support to hiring managers and search committees in order to promote a culture of diversity and inclusion in the hiring process.  Supervisors are in a position to make decisions that impact people, and these training opportunities are intended to develop your understanding of common forms of bias and provide tools to minimize their influence.

We have tasked all UC ANR Directors to complete this training to help build a stronger culture of respect, equality, equity and justice within our organization, and I'm now expanding the assignment to all our Academics and Supervisors. 

• Supervisory Training – A six-part online training, "Managing Implicit Bias," is being offered to all UC ANR employees and is now being required of all supervisors. Please complete these trainings by May 31, 2022. You can find the courses by searching on “UC Managing Implicit Bias.”   
• Hiring Committee Best Practices – Best practices training will be provided to supervisors and hiring committees to ensure a fair and non-bias hiring process.  Human Resources will coordinate with the hiring managers of upcoming search committees to provide these exciting new resources.

I hope you find these sessions useful and meaningful to your role as an ANR leader.  For questions related to these exciting new educational opportunities please feel free to contact Bethanie Brown at brbbrown@ucanr.edu.
