Why DEI Dies Between HR and the Hiring Manager and How to Make It Stick

Most DEI programmes focus on gender. They measure headcount, run training, and then a hiring manager rejects a perfectly qualified candidate because of something they can't quite put into words. This session goes after the harder question: why does good DEI strategy keep dying between the policy and the people manager? Two practitioners who've been inside that gap - one who fought for three years to build a neurodiversity strategy that actually stuck, one who led inclusion across an entire European workforce - sit down to talk about what it actually takes.

Why DEI Dies Between HR and the Hiring Manager and How to Make It Stick

What We'll Cover

Why "diversity" still means gender at most companies

Neurodivergence, disability, and different ways of thinking rarely make it into the DEI conversation at all - even though that's usually where the real gap is hiding.

Cognitive and cultural diversity should mean adapting how work gets structured, not just who gets hired into it.

Not a training module. Roxana and Carme talk about what changes when inclusion means adapting how work gets structured, not just who gets hired into it.

The biased hiring manager - how to manage it

Most bias-driven rejections never get written down as bias. What it actually takes to intervene before "no" hardens into a done deal.

What leadership commitment to DEI looks like vs. what gets said at the town hall

The gap between a DEI slide in a leadership deck and a strategy leadership will actually defend when it costs something.
