Yes, you read that right. This is a thing. It is interesting how ‘Diversity Professionals’ is a relevant job role at workplaces.
Companies are now hiring diversity professionals who are committed to the vision and mission of creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. These job roles are a mixture of HR, recruitment, IT, Healthcare and leadership roles and responsibilities.
Diversity professionals carry on a number of tasks such as holding and organizing educative sessions on diversity and inclusion, creating an inclusive culture in the workplace, introducing new ideas to improve the diversity and inclusion workplace programs, rooting and pushing for the use of an inclusive language, managing complaints on harassment and workplace discrimination, etc.
As the role of diversity professionals have become increasingly popular, the trend of hiring them is only predicted to grow this year.
