Happy college graduation month! In honor of the many graduates and students finishing their exams and preparing to enter the workforce full time or as interns, we’d like to share some resources about hiring, and specifically about hiring with DEI goals in mind. 

• This podcast episode takes an in-depth look at Google’s attempt to hire more Black engineers and why it hasn’t really worked. 
• For tips on how to reduce hiring biases, check out this article, which is part of a 10-part series on how to cultivate workplace diversity and inclusion - check out the rest of the series if you have time!
• Finally, listen to this podcast episode (or read the transcript) for a discussion of how to support employees of color once they’re on board. 

May is also Asian American and Pacific Islander History month. Check out the March 2021 edition of the Spotlight for resources on how to be an ally to the Asian American community.  ​
