The recipe for achieving a representative workforce while ensuring DE&I programs deliver the business returns that help companies grow, requires these key ingredients: 🤝 Making a commitment. Dedicate resources, put together a core team, and thoughtfully shape your program to reflect where you want to go – and your “why” for the work. 🏗️ Building something relevant. Adapt DE&I initiatives to current workplace challenges by using surveys and focus groups to align with employees' needs and concerns. 🗺️ Being realistic. Focus on achievable, small-scale actions and a clear roadmap to ensure DE&I programs are manageable and sustainable. 🌉 Bridging differences. Utilize skilled facilitators to navigate sensitive DE&I conversations and promote inclusive dialogue across diverse employee perspectives. 🗣️ Inviting key stakeholders. Involve representative voices and invite outside perspectives from the start to ensure meaningful and informed DE&I initiatives. 👂 Keeping it going. Maintain momentum by regularly revisiting your DE&I program roadmap, seeking employee feedback, and refining initiatives to ensure lasting impact. With a thoughtful approach from leaders and engaged employees, you’ll be ready to create a DE&I program that satisfies retention and energizes productivity.

It’s Human Rights Month and today is Human Rights Day. 🟰 Observances like these are important to recognize and acknowledge because at the end of the day, we’re all humans. It was 76 years ago today that the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — a groundbreaking pledge establishing the rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being. This year’s theme – Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now – reminds us that there’s no time to waste when it comes to prioritizing human rights, and if we all prioritized treating each other as humans, a global movement for all human rights would be ignited. We encourage you to take a few minutes today to support a cause that champions human rights – for our future AND for right now. #Equality #EqualRights #SocialJustice #Freedom

Stats we can’t get out of our head at the moment: ❌ ResumeBuilder.com’s survey revealing 40% of job postings are not genuine ❌ And the 72% of Americans who say applying for jobs feels like sending a resume into a black box, per American Staffing Association’s new Workforce Monitor report In the end, these approaches do EVERYONE a disservice. But especially, job candidates. It’s time to recenter on the candidate experience because if we do, we’ll all benefit. We’ve seen firsthand how a focus on engaging genuinely with candidates and always providing full transparency benefits all parties involved. How do we know this approach works? When our candidates become clients. We’re also upfront with candidates about our potential job opportunities as well as what the process looks like to work with us. This ensures we’re all on the same page and they understand that we’re always looking out for their best interest. Now, with this new data coming to light, it means our job is even more critical to ensuring candidates have a good experience. If you’re needing support with finding your next role in the tech space, reach out to McCann Partners, and join the 67% of job seekers who say that staffing agencies make finding a job easier.

Brrrr!! 🥶🥶 Anyone from Chicago or who has spent time in Chicago between the months of December to April (or May, let’s be real!) knows the winter season can be brutally cold and long-lasting. While each year’s wintertime is never the same, McCann Partners has been weathering the chilly season in Chicago since 2011. Over the years, we’ve relied on many different things to get us through. Take a peek at our list of pro tips for anyone needing a little bit of help to get through the cold weather months. ❄️ Play in the snow! Build snow forts or take the dog for a walk – get outside and enjoy it. ❄️ Engage in other seasonal activities like skiing or ice skating. ❄️ Plan fun outings like going bowling, to sporting events, or staying in the city for the weekend. ❄️ Sip on hot beverages by a fire. ❄️ Snuggle with your pet(s). ❄️ Lean into cool weather clothing like fuzzy socks and flannels. ❄️ Cozy up under warm blankets to watch movies with loved ones. ❄️ Put together some good music playlists. ❄️ Focus on the joys of the season like your favorite family traditions. ❄️ Gather with friends and family to create lasting memories. ❄️ Last but not least, schedule a spring break getaway to someplace warm. These simple yet heartwarming activities can help brighten even the grayest of days and make winter a season to treasure. How do you get through the wintertime? #WindyCity #Team #Culture

“The best hires are made when soft skills are valued above hard-skill competencies.” That statement from Megan McCann, Founder and CEO of McCann Partners, is backed up by her more than two decades of working in the IT staffing industry, and by LinkedIn’s latest Workforce Confidence survey, which revealed more than six in 10 U.S. employees believe soft skills are more important now than ever. As a leading IT staffing agency, we’re seeing this same trend, too. By evaluating candidates’ soft skills, we have the best chance of finding the right, long-term fits. The secret to assessing candidates for soft skills means adding these 3 key steps into your interview process: 1️⃣ Gage their curiosity. Ask about the last thing they learned to find out what drives their desire to learn. 2️⃣ Watch how they work. Ask them to solve a problem using a whiteboard to gain insight into their organization, adaptability, communication, and critical thinking skills. 3️⃣ Check their culture connections. Ask about their passions and their “why” to better understand their motivation, ethics, and empathy.    For more insider knowledge, read Megan’s Forbes' article on assessing soft skills https://bit.ly/3YWcBZF #ITCareer #TechJobs #Hiring #Recruiting
