Diversity and Inclusion in Assessment
The best practice steps organisations can take to ensure fairness and equality of opportunity.
Alice Keane, CPsychol Senior Talent Assessment Consultant

Including psychometric tests in your process is a great way to do this, as they help to reduce bias because they are standardised and objective unlike other methods such as interviews. In order to maximise their effectiveness, there are several best practice steps that organisations should incorporate over time.
