Do you want to learn more about recruiting, hiring, and supporting new staff? Do you want to work towards a more equitable and inclusive park community? This workshops aims to give you the tools to do both!

 With a mix of individual, group, and partner activities, this workshop encourages participants to:

• Reflect on personal experiences of being a job seeker and/or being on a hiring team
• Explore current statistics and research on workplace demographics and culture, including pay gaps and long-term trends
• Identify aspects of a hiring process that commonly introduce intentional bias, especially in regards to gender, race, and socioeconomic status
• Practice strategies to help a wide range of applicants apply and navigate a hiring process more comfortably
• Discuss their hiring processes with other participants and the facilitators
• Create or revise their own hiring materials
