The 10 Must-Read Articles for Recruiters This Week

Robert Livingston believes racism in the workplace can be effectively addressed. The Harvard professor writes: “Corporate leaders may not be able to change the world, but they can certainly change their world.” 

In Robert’s long experience, successful corporate efforts involve many stages, which he distills to a five-step process called PRESS — Problem awareness, Root-cause analysis, Empathy, Strategies for tackling the issues, and Sacrifice (time, energy, and resources). In the HBR article that leads this week’s roundup of must-read articles, Robert details what each of his five steps involves and shows how each builds on the other. 

This week’s list also points out why internal recruiting is making a comeback and offers tips for building an effective internal mobility strategy. You can also read how companies can keep furloughed employees engaged, how businesses can leverage gig workers on their remote teams, and whether or not recruiters should be held responsible for pay equity.
