Human Resources Committee
Facilitators: Yaśodā Deva and Claire Michele Rice
The Human Resources Committee is dedicated to helping international schools establish equitable hiring practices and create systems that support, retain, and promote staff from historically marginalized identities and backgrounds. We work to ensure diverse representation across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, and disability among all staff. Our goal is for everyone in the community to understand and value the importance of diversity within the institution and to remove any barriers for applicants seeking any position.
Our Commitments
To provide guidance to schools for creating equitable and inclusive practices in their human resource life cycle, including hiring, onboarding, retention and professional growth of all staff members from the school community.
To work with schools on the development of anti-discrimination modules to support onboarding for incoming staff, students and their families.
To provide recommendations to schools regarding equitable and inclusive hiring practices that proactively ensure accessibility to job postings and the recruitment of a diverse pool of applicants that reflect the global majority and marginalized communities.
To examine processes for the compensation and benefits of both teaching and non-teaching staff and provide guidance on opportunities for more equitable compensation and benefits among all staff.
To support schools in developing affinity group spaces for students, staff and community members.
