Pinterest was one of the first companies to release
a diversity report in 2013. Since then a number of
reports have been produced, some might say too
many, with each illustrating the activity and progress
of the respective company. If honest, each report
reading virtually the same – minimal progress. In
addition, the need to develop the business case has
been well documented through Catalyst, Deloitte,
McKinsey and many others over the last several
years.
“The house burned before them and they
wanted the data to prove it. The audacity
and ridiculousness of needing the business
case convincing them of the obvious. If
the smoke doesn’t alarm you - the fire most
certainly should.”
Bernard Coleman, Uber
Put another way, the phrase “business case for
diversity” on Google or Harvard Business Review
will return thousands of links making the case
extremely clear. You will find that 1) organizations
that are diverse in representation add better bottom
line results than their peer group and 2) diverse
organizations breed a workplace that promotes staff
loyalty, deeper engagement, creative increase and
production. That aside, let’s get down to business.
Over the past five (5) or so years, I’ve worked behind
the scenes with a range of companies that include
some of the most recognized brands on the planet as
well as upstarts with less than 20 people. What has
been consistently revealed is that:
>> authentic and intentional D&I efforts/interest lead 	
	 to a more efficient overall sourcing and recruiting 	
	process
>> we identify more often than not that hiring 		
	 managers are at the crux of progress and this 	
	 cannot be ignored
>> true D&I results are not going to manifest through 	
	 fairy dust, but presence of leadership and 		
	 unwavering support
With the constant disruption of technology, the
growing presence of artificial intelligence, distribution
of work styles, it is even more pressing that
companies uncover how better to attract, source, and
secure talent. There has NEVER been a better time
to attack your diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts
than now. To that end, I’ve responded to Recruiting
Daily’s request to produce a starter kit that is industry
agnostic.

With years of exposure to varied aspects of team
composition, resources allocated, workplace culture, and
more, I’ve landed on what I believe are the most common
considerations regardless of industry and/or company size.
I’ve used this foundation to build solutions within startups
with less than 20 people as well as world class logos north of
$30B in revenue. I’m warning you, there are no shortcuts.

Key Markers of Success
>> Strengthen focus on strategies and trainings 		
	 that promote inclusion, mission enhancement, and 	
	 increase in productivity rather than transactional 	
	 fixes
>> Cohesive team approach towards D&I strategy, 	
	 with plans to meet mission needs, taking into 		
	 account the “new” workforce and potential of 		
	 contingent talent
>> A delivery model that maximizes benefits to 		
	 internal employees enlisting them in the importance 	
	 and process of solid D&I efforts and candidate 	
	 engagement 

>> Data to help make and support the people business	
	 decisions as well as measure productivity and drive 	
	 future accountability and value as a line item 

Summary
I have found time and time again that achieving real
and sustained diversity and inclusion efforts require
more than cute messaging, initiatives connected
to a particular cause or month (alone), and loosely
structured committees that spend more time meeting
than doing. This work will require patience (for
some), uncomfortable conversations (for others),
and a sincere commitment to seeing growth (by all).
Important to note that there is no finish line.
This starter kit is designed with the goal of helping
each reader to foster an awareness around getting
started today and no longer delaying what most know
to be a critical aspect of business growth. No matter
where you are on your D&I journey, know that you are
needed in this effort to shift the narrative from punitive
to promise. It is my hope that you use this starter
kit to address that existential threat of building high
powered teams without a D&I recruiting strategy.

www.torinellis.com
What do you think is stopping companies from linking diversity
metrics to company bonuses?
>> The people in leadership. Period.
What is a key point to remember when recruiting and hiring veterans?
>> To treat them as though they matter. The same as one treats EVERY 		
	 applicant, prospect, and/or candidate.
As a new, small business what are the best steps we can take to
create an inclusive space for our community and anyone we might
hire as we grow?
>> Start early. Make it part of your leadership meetings – then take action.
Have you successfully dismissed the zero sum concept associated
with increasing diversity amongst senior leadership? Speaking to the
fear that more women/min inherently means less room for white males
>> Been dismissed. Laughable. And we do NOT use the word minority to 	
	 refer to underrepresented talent. Next question.
How to work on changing our department demographics to reflect our
community demographic make-up?
>> One hire at a time. Intentional pipeline and interview slates will 		
	 eventually enhance representation.
What is the best way to roll out diversity and inclusion programs
across a large organization with multiple sites to make an effective
impact?
>> LEADERSHIP seeds the conversation. C-Suite, Business Unit / 		
	 Department Heads. Then Supervisors. The voice of leadership is 		
	mandatory.
What is an effective response to people who say that bringing in more
diversity means bringing in weaker candidates (I use “Diversity is
Quality”, but would like to be able to expound further)
>> Tell them to call me. Better yet, you call me and put me on speaker.
What are some examples of best D&I practices/initiatives that
successful organizations have implemented?
>> They were authentic in what they were doing. That ALONE is a best 		
	practice.
How do we address inclusive interview panels, do you have any
strategies that have helped communicate the need for diverse panels
to staff?
>> Uh, invite various members to be part of the panel. No diversity to call on	
	 – well that’s a problem.
Have you encountered any impact that neurodiversity has within a
workplace?
>> I haven’t but Atlassian has – look up Aubrey Blanche and some of 		
	 her writings. There’s also a great article on Harvard Business Review 		
	 “Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage” June 2017
When are you going to realize diversity is a scam and forcing it into
tech is killing the industry?
>> This was a real question I received. Believe me when I say there are 		
	 non-believers. I deal with them directly and swiftly.

Since then a number of reports have been produced, some might say too many, with each illustrating the activity and progress of the respective company. If honest, each report reading virtually the same – minimal progress. In addition, the need to develop the business case has been well documented through Catalyst, Deloitte, McKinsey and many others over the last several years. “The house burned before them and they wanted the data to prove it. The audacity and ridiculousness of needing the business case convincing them of the obvious. If the smoke doesn’t alarm you - the fire most certainly should.” Bernard Coleman, Uber Put another way, the phrase “business case for diversity” on Google or Harvard Business Review will return thousands of links making the case extremely clear. You will find that 1) organizations that are diverse in representation add better bottom line results than their peer group and 2) diverse organizations breed a workplace that promotes staff loyalty, deeper engagement, creative increase and production. That aside, let’s get down to business. Over the past five (5) or so years, I’ve worked behind the scenes with a range of companies that include some of the most recognized brands on the planet as well as upstarts with less than 20 people. What has been consistently revealed is that: >> authentic and intentional D&I efforts/interest lead to a more efficient overall sourcing and recruiting process >> we identify more often than not that hiring managers are at the crux of progress and this cannot be ignored >> true D&I results are not going to manifest through fairy dust, but presence of leadership and unwavering support With the constant disruption of technology, the growing presence of artificial intelligence, distribution of work styles, it is even more pressing that companies uncover how better to attract, source, and secure talent. There has NEVER been a better time to attack your diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts than now. To that end, I’ve responded to Recruiting Daily’s request to produce a starter kit that is industry agnostic. foreword 3 www.torinellis.com

With years of exposure to varied aspects of team composition, resources allocated, workplace culture, and more, I’ve landed on what I believe are the most common considerations regardless of industry and/or company size. I’ve used this foundation to build solutions within startups with less than 20 people as well as world class logos north of $30B in revenue.

  • 6. Key Markers of Success >> Strengthen focus on strategies and trainings that promote inclusion, mission enhancement, and increase in productivity rather than transactional fixes >> Cohesive team approach towards D&I strategy, with plans to meet mission needs, taking into account the “new” workforce and potential of contingent talent >> A delivery model that maximizes benefits to internal employees enlisting them in the importance and process of solid D&I efforts and candidate engagement 
 >> Data to help make and support the people business decisions as well as measure productivity and drive future accountability and value as a line item 
 Summary I have found time and time again that achieving real and sustained diversity and inclusion efforts require more than cute messaging, initiatives connected to a particular cause or month (alone), and loosely structured committees that spend more time meeting than doing. This work will require patience (for some), uncomfortable conversations (for others), and a sincere commitment to seeing growth (by all). Important to note that there is no finish line. This starter kit is designed with the goal of helping each reader to foster an awareness around getting started today and no longer delaying what most know to be a critical aspect of business growth. No matter where you are on your D&I journey, know that you are needed in this effort to shift the narrative from punitive to promise. It is my hope that you use this starter kit to address that existential threat of building high powered teams without a D&I recruiting strategy. 6 www.torinellis.com

  • 8. What do you think is stopping companies from linking diversity metrics to company bonuses? >> The people in leadership. Period. What is a key point to remember when recruiting and hiring veterans? >> To treat them as though they matter. The same as one treats EVERY applicant, prospect, and/or candidate. As a new, small business what are the best steps we can take to create an inclusive space for our community and anyone we might hire as we grow? >> Start early. Make it part of your leadership meetings – then take action. Have you successfully dismissed the zero sum concept associated with increasing diversity amongst senior leadership? Speaking to the fear that more women/min inherently means less room for white males >> Been dismissed. Laughable. And we do NOT use the word minority to refer to underrepresented talent. Next question. How to work on changing our department demographics to reflect our community demographic make-up? >> One hire at a time. Intentional pipeline and interview slates will eventually enhance representation. What is the best way to roll out diversity and inclusion programs across a large organization with multiple sites to make an effective impact? >> LEADERSHIP seeds the conversation. C-Suite, Business Unit / Department Heads. Then Supervisors. The voice of leadership is mandatory. What is an effective response to people who say that bringing in more diversity means bringing in weaker candidates (I use “Diversity is Quality”, but would like to be able to expound further) >> Tell them to call me. Better yet, you call me and put me on speaker. What are some examples of best D&I practices/initiatives that successful organizations have implemented? >> They were authentic in what they were doing. That ALONE is a best practice. How do we address inclusive interview panels, do you have any strategies that have helped communicate the need for diverse panels to staff? >> Uh, invite various members to be part of the panel. No diversity to call on – well that’s a problem. Have you encountered any impact that neurodiversity has within a workplace? >> I haven’t but Atlassian has – look up Aubrey Blanche and some of her writings. There’s also a great article on Harvard Business Review “Neurodiversity as a Competitive Advantage” June 2017 When are you going to realize diversity is a scam and forcing it into tech is killing the industry? >> This was a real question I received. Believe me when I say there are non-believers. I deal with them directly and swiftly. 8 www.torinellis.com
