Diversifying Your Team: Why Event Leaders Shouldn’t Be Hiring People Just Like Them
|
In this episode of "Event Masters," Maureen Elliott—director of event marketing at ESPN—discusses the importance of diversifying your team and dives into detail on practical ways event leaders can revise their hiring process and management style to ensure they're setting their team up for success by onboarding members with different strengths.
Elliott also explains how a well-rounded, diverse team—which extends beyond race and ethnicity and into personality type, sexual orientation, age and professional experience, to name a few—can lead to a more sustainable work environment that prioritizes mental health and minimizes burnout in employees.
