Speaker: Jeremy Thornton, Global Talent Intelligence Leader
For years TA leadership has strived to achieve a seat at the top table but predominantly fallen short. This is due to being unable to articulate and evidence the value that TA delivers to a business, as well as struggling to building a strong business case for significant investment . A new fresh comprehensive data driven strategy is required harnessing both internal and external data points. This interactive discussion will focus on the key steps required so that RL100 members can help and support each other to achieve success.

You asked and we listened! In this collaborative session, we will address key questions raised by the community about making adaptations in interviews and how talent acquisition as a whole can better support diverse candidates.
Key Points for the Workshop:
- Understanding Reasonable Adjustments: Learn what adjustments and adaptations are, with examples for different needs such as Autism, ADHD, and physical disabilities.
- Why It Matters: Understand the impact on candidate experience and equity, along with the business benefits of accessing diverse talent and perspectives.
- Challenges: Explore common obstacles like the lack of formal processes and inconsistent policies, and gain insights from companies without structured approaches.
- Developing a Framework: Discover what a reasonable adjustments policy should include, with simple, actionable steps for creating one.
- Customising for Interviews: Learn how to tailor adjustments for job roles and cognitive diversity, such as offering flexible timing or quiet spaces.
- Collaborative Session: Engage in a group brainstorm to develop a draft framework or checklist.
