**Diversity in Hiring** is the practice of creating a workforce that reflects the diversity of the community, region, and country that the organization serves.

Diversity in hiring goes beyond simply meeting legal requirements or avoiding discrimination; it's about creating a work environment that values and leverages the unique perspectives and experiences of all employees.
