Workforce Diversity Working Group

The Workforce Diversity Working Group has been focusing on activities designed to recruit, develop, and retain a diverse work force. These include redesigning and enhancing internal and external diversity websites and translating some portions of the BCH website into Spanish, the completion of a diversity brochure and the creation of a diversity calendar. A diversity "scorecard" will be developed to track recruitment, turnover data, and promotion information by diverse groups. Recruiting efforts have been expanded by targeting diverse demographic markets and widening partnerships with local academic institutions and community organizations. The Human Resources Department, in conjunction with Patient Services and the Legal Department, has thus far trained over 400 BCH managers on record-keeping, compliance, and the role of recruiter and hiring manager with an aim to build a more diverse applicant pool and to support BCH in its affirmative action initiatives.
