Why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Matters

Embracing diversity in the hospitality workplace is essential for fostering a supportive culture where employees feel valued. Numerous studies indicate that diverse companies experience higher levels of innovation and productivity.

As organizations increasingly focus on creating Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, it is imperative to support these goals with fair and inclusive talent acquisition processes. Without the ability to attract and promote a diverse talent pool, welcoming underrepresented groups becomes virtually impossible.

Several obstacles may hinder a company’s ability to hire the best candidates, regardless of factors such as race, gender, age, nationality, religion, or sexual orientation, including:

• Limitations to existing talent pipelines
• Unstructured interviews
• Unreliable performance indicators
• Non-inclusive job descriptions

At Horizon Hospitality, we are dedicated to helping companies overcome these challenges. Our mission is to provide top-tier talent from a diverse pool of candidates to assist our clients in achieving their long-term cultural and financial objectives.

We recognize that our core values must reflect this mission. To emphasize the importance of diversity in creating strong and resilient teams, we have incorporated “Embrace Diversity and Inclusion” into our core values.

How Horizon Hospitality Can Help

We understand that simply expressing goodwill towards promoting diversity is insufficient to effect real change. Concrete processes must be established to provide our clients with actual opportunities to build a diverse workforce.

With over 25 years of experience, we have developed a highly regimented and data-driven recruiting process that identifies the most qualified candidates, regardless of their protected class. To assist clients in focusing on candidates’ core competencies rather than personal biases, we offer a range of tools, including:

• Talent Assessments
• Behavioral Assessments
• Blind Resumes
• Hiring Process Consultations
• Wide range of Talent Pools
• Structured Interview Process
• Client Needs Assessments

We recognize that fostering diversity and inclusion in the workplace does not mean lowering performance standards; rather, it involves broadening the recruitment pipeline to attract the best talent from all backgrounds. When companies genuinely nurture diversity and inclusion, everyone benefits.
