HCS is pleased to announce that one of the world’s largest utility companies has just selected and hired their Vice President of Inclusion and Diversity. HCS was awarded the search after the company upgraded the position from Director to Vice President in September. The client interviewed five candidates before making an offer and receiving acceptance in early November.
“Human Capital Solutions, Inc. (HCS) is seeing a number of global organizations recognize value in hiring an executive or appointing an officer to head up Inclusion and Diversity (I & D),” states Bo Burch, founder of HCS. “A pattern we have noticed as many of our clients pursue an I & D initiative, is they are seeking to cultivate diversity and inclusion to develop world-class, high-performing teams. They want to ignite change and inspire critical conversations around diversity, inclusion, and innovation” Burch concludes, “Strategic, dedicated I & D resources create venues and environments for open dialogue, diverse opinions, and a multitude of perspectives that generate real intellectual capital.”
To develop a unified vision of what diversity and inclusion means to generating shareholder value, HCS believes in a four-pronged business case for diversity:
• Diversity drives the recruitment of the best dynamic talent.
• Diversity enriches the creativity and innovation that shapes and sharpens the brand.
• Diversity grows and enhances competitive advantage.
• Diversity heightens stature and belief in the company within the consumer base.
