What Bradley is Passionate About

Cultivating Spaces of Belonging 

There are many gaps in traditional recruiting practices. How many of us have heard the term “fit” in a hiring process? It’s time to stop recruiting for “fit” and instead focus on contribution. How can we create an environment where people feel comfortable to bring their whole selves to the recruiting process?  We are not striving for “best practices” because frankly they don’t exist. We are always striving for better practices. 

Bradley talks about ways to foster healthy work environments that make employees feel comfortable and valued. In essence, a workplace where everyone is treated like a human regardless of race, age, position. We want employees to be thought of as contributors. Managers, co-workers, recruiters, and everyone else in the workplace to ask themselves how someone’s lived experience contributes to the organization.

It is also time that we focus our attention to the environment that people are coming into. We usually hear people talking about workplace culture, but Bradley talks about workplace climate. We know a few things about wild weather in Halifax and what we know is that its always changing! So is the environment in the workplace. We need to show up with humility and face those changes with curiosity and excitement instead of defensiveness. This will result in a place where employees truly feel like they belong.
