You have distributed the responsibility for increasing diversity. It’s standard : You probably have a campus recruitment team , a separate group driving lateral hiring , and a diversity department concerned with retention and inclusiveness . Recruitment teams focus on hiring goals, they aren’t accountable for how well new employees perform or how many remain after two years. Diversity departments, which to track new hire’s success (and, unlike recruiting, commit funds to programs beyond the current budget cycle) , are disconnected from recruitment strategies.
