Hiring the right talent is crucial for any business, and embracing diversity is essential to this process. In this episode of Staffing Strategies Simplified, we speak to Shalena Shaheed, Managing Director of NES Advantage Solutions, about her experiences and insights into Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) in the energy recruitment market. 

This podcast highlights the importance of fostering an inclusive culture that values diversity in all its forms. We will explore how a diverse workforce brings fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and a wider range of skills to the table. It enhances creativity and problem-solving and drives better decision-making and overall business performance. 

We also discuss the history of DE&I in the industry, the changes already introduced in the energy industry, and the crucial importance of continuing to innovate and improve policies and procedures. As the expectations of the candidate market change regarding job satisfaction, professional goals and personal values, businesses that can demonstrate their commitment to continuous improvement in their DE&I strategies will attract the best talent on the market. 



Shalena shares insights and strategies organisations can implement to attract and retain diverse talent. We will delve into the key elements of a strong DE&I strategy, such as creating inclusive job descriptions, implementing bias-free recruitment processes, and establishing an inclusive and welcoming work environment. 

Whether you're an HR professional, a hiring manager, or simply interested in understanding the impact of diversity in the workplace, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable steps to enhance your talent acquisition practices.
