DISH operates within the male-dominated industry of technology. To combat the gender gap as we continue to grow in this sector, we have implemented a dedicated Diversity Sourcing Program Manager to ensure we are sourcing from diverse channels, removing gender-coded terminology from our job descriptions, providing training on unconscious bias throughout the interview process, and showcasing a diverse panel for interviews. Internally, we have a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) team that supports our Employee Resource Groups and DEI support groups, champions DEI initiatives within the company and provides trainings, research, and professional development opportunities concerning DEI. Gender diversity is one of our priorities when we are recruiting and retaining top talent.
DISH has two internal groups that focus on advocating for women in their career growth and work-life balance, DISH Women's Network (DWN) and Empowered Parents Network (EPN). DWN is our company-wide employee resource group dedicated to supporting women while Empowered Parents Network (EPN) supports working parents and caregivers. DWN's mission is to empower women to become leaders and create an inclusive work environment, supporting the growth and success of women on a personal and professional level. EPN’s mission is to offer a community with access to educational opportunities and resources empowering parents and caregivers who are building their career and family in sync with one another.
Job Description: DISH has removed implicitly biased language from job descriptions and ensured that all minimum qualifications are accurate to the role.
Application Process: The company has taken steps to ensure a fair and transparent posting process for all jobs, free from bias.
The hiring manager has been mentored to read the details of the resume first, before the name, address, or even university name. This helps to have a more objective and comprehensive view of the candidate.
Interview Process: The interviewer should stick to an established agenda and consistent set of questions for every candidate. This process will allow the interviewer to compare candidate responses, and assist in selecting the most qualified applicant for the role.
Selection Process: A diverse group of interviewers of all levels and tenure should participate in the interview. Each interviewer should provide written feedback before discussing as a group. All interviewers should have completed the appropriate training programs before participating in the process.
DISH also has a full-time Diversity Recruiting Program Manager, responsible for building strategic hiring channels and sourcing tactics that target underrepresented communities.
