How
to Find an Expert Diversity Professional
How
do you find an expert diversity professional, especially someone
who is in close proximity of our organization? If you don't know
the first thing about how to find or select a diversity professional,
you are not alone.
Most
of us turn to colleagues, friends, and sometimes the Yellow Pages
in search of a professional. Colleagues and friends are great
because you trust their judgment. The Yellow Pages are less ideal
because the information is so limited. When time is of essence,
many professionals increasingly turn to the internet in search
of a diversity professional. This makes sense because the internet
can offer considerable information needed to make a good quick
decision. Given that DTUI is well positioned on most search engines,
many of them seek us out to handle emergencies.
Now
that you are here, you can use a few tips on selecting your diversity
professional. In general, you will need to consider balancing
expertise with budget and convenience. Ideally, you want the best
professional possible, but that individual will likely not be
located in the vicinity and comes with a top-of-the-line price
tag. Price should never be considered the most important factor,
however, given that the return on investment is usually considerable.
But, the world is not ideal. When cost is important you will need
to get the best person at the best price. The closer the professional
is in proximity to the organization’s location, the less
likely travel costs will be incurred. This is one reason that
this Referral Network is so valuable. DTUI has gone a few steps
further to offer you the best in your vicinity.
The
first thing you need to know is what characteristics you should
be looking for in a diversity professional. Consider using the
following checklist
Does the person
have an academic degree or diversity professional certification?
Does the person have
experience consulting and training for an organization similar
to yours?
Does the person have
at least three references that offer positive testimonials?
Is the person knowledgeable
about how organizations work?
Does the person have
a strategy for identifying your organization’s needs and
can articulate it to you?
Does the person understand
your problem and have experience addressing it?
Does the person have
good verbal and written communications skills?
Does the person convey
an approach that is empathetic towards all groups within the organization?
Does the person collaborate
well with your organization’s contact person?
Does the person provide
an evaluation of their services even if your organization does
not require one
The above checklist
is not meant to be exhaustive. Its main purpose is to offer you
a general list of things to consider in selecting a diversity
professional.
Now you are ready to
find the best among the Diversity Professionals in the marketplace.
