Address structural bias to elevate underrepresented employees as leaders within healthcare organizations.
There is a representation gap in healthcare leadership. People with diverse identities and historically marginalized tend to be underrepresented in the pool of applicants presenting for executive positions in healthcare organizations.
Many things must change, including the structural elements reinforcing bias and underrepresentation.
Dr. Chamarlyn Fairley and I had the opportunity to explore these ideas in our recent conversation about how to diversify the pipeline to executive leadership positions in healthcare.
Listen to her tips on increasing diversity, reducing bias, and strengthening leadership capacity in your healthcare system:
- Increase leadership capacity by developing diverse leaders within your organization.
- Reduce bias in your hiring and selection process.
- Let go of stereotypes to identify future leaders.
- Start with an intentional conversation about why increasing diversity matters to your healthcare system.
- Ensure the diversity of your applicant pool is representative of the rich diversity of your community.
- Ensure each candidate is discussed for an equal amount of time.
