Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: How this works in our hiring process

As an organisation, Colliers is deeply committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in all aspects of our operations, including our hiring processes. We recognise the importance of building a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve and fosters an inclusive and equitable workplace environment. Below are some areas in which Colliers prioritises DEI hiring at Colliers and how we align our hiring practices with our global DEI commitments.

We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce not only enhances our organisational performance but also drives innovation and creativity. We understand that diversity brings different perspectives, experiences, and ideas, which are essential for our success in a global marketplace. By embracing DEI in our hiring practices, we aim to create a workplace where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique skills and talents.

To ensure that our hiring processes align with our global DEI commitments, we have implemented several key strategies and initiatives:

Building Diverse Talent Pipelines
We actively seek to attract diverse talent by establishing partnerships with organizations and institutions that focus on underrepresented groups. Through these partnerships, we aim to create pathways for individuals from diverse backgrounds to join our organisation (add in examples/links/videos) and contribute to our success. Additionally, we promote our job opportunities through diverse channels and platforms to reach a wider range of candidates.

Unbiased and Inclusive Selection Processes
We have implemented training programs for our hiring managers and interview panels to ensure that our selection processes are fair, unbiased, and inclusive. We provide guidelines and tools to mitigate unconscious biases and promote objective evaluations of candidates based on their skills, qualifications, and potential. We also encourage diverse representation in our interview panels to minimize bias and ensure a comprehensive assessment of candidates.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
At Colliers, we have established Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that provide support, networking opportunities, and a sense of belonging for employees from diverse backgrounds. Our ERGs play a crucial role in promoting DEI hiring by participating in recruitment events, mentoring diverse candidates, and advocating for inclusive practices within the organisation.

Continuous Learning and Improvement
We recognise that DEI is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continuous learning and improvement. We regularly review our hiring processes, gather feedback from candidates and employees, and incorporate best practices and industry standards. We also invest in DEI training and education for all employees to foster a culture of inclusivity and awareness.

DEI hiring is a key strategic driver at Colliers, as we firmly believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential for our success. By aligning our hiring processes with our global DEI commitments, we are actively working towards building a workplace that values and celebrates diversity. Through our efforts, we aim to attract, retain, and develop exceptional talent from all backgrounds and create an environment where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential."
