Tracks: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Atlassian is a global technology company that builds collaborative tools for teams. As the company grows, it is focusing on ensuring its own teams are diverse and inclusive as well as overhauling its employment brand to help attract the best talent. As a part of the changes, it aimed to show that people from all backgrounds could be successful members of its team, re-writing everything that candidates may encounter with their website, job posts, recruiter emails and more. This massive overhaul of the employment brand was driven by sophisticated data that helped guide the language used to appeal to diverse, high-quality applicants. Aubrey Blanche will share how Atlassian shattered its diversity goals, hiring an engineering intern class of 47% women and a graduate class of 54% women. Learn how the company identifies and uses data and metrics to set diversity goals, track progress and improve the language within its writing. You’ll gain best practices for implementing HR technology to help your organization attract the best talent, faster.
