Enhanced Hiring Practices to Promote Diversity

Greenville Health System in South Carolina overhauled its leadership search and selection process to better match the diversity of its workforce and the communities it serves. For each leadership team vacancy, a search and selection committee with a diverse membership is established to develop a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates. The first year after implementation of the new process, 70 percent of leadership team appointments were from underrepresented groups and 50 percent were racial and ethnic minorities.
