Changing The Narrative: Olga Valadon Partners With Equal Employer®️ To Eliminate Unconscious Bias In The Workplace.

July 27, 2023

Olga Valadon, CEO of Change Aligned®️, has joined Equal Employer’s®️ Advisory Board.

Equal Employer is an organisation and hiring platform that eliminates unconscious bias in hiring and promotions.

Equal Employer uses proprietary software to manage the hiring process from application to appointment. The software manages the scheduling, communication, and objective scoring for each employer-designed criteria. This simple but thorough process eliminates unconscious bias when promoting or hiring new people, builds a truly diverse workforce, and finds the best available person for the position.

“Olga Valadon has helped steer Equal Employer’s initiative from its inception,” says Adam Botterill, CEO and Co-founder of Equal Employer. “With a background in business strategy, culture design, and executive coaching Olga possesses essential skills that will allow our Board of Directors to step outside their echo chamber. She has an exceptional ability to analyse fast-paced information, place it into a logical structure, and present it back in an understandable format or well-placed question. This provides unique insights and a fresh alternative to what can be major stumbling blocks.”

“I find Equal Employer’s mission inspiring,” Olga says. “It resonates strongly with me and my mission to help others reach their full potential. Over the past 25 years, I’ve observed or experienced bias (conscious or unconscious) in hiring and promotion decisions more often than one might think. As a result, I’ve seen many people with exceptional talent being overlooked and not getting the opportunity they deserve. We need to change this narrative.”

“Having worked with Olga over the last 12 months and knowing her extensive experience in leadership development and culture design, I was extremely grateful when she accepted our offer to help create our Board of Advisors. The importance of the Board’s work will increase as Equal Employer grows. To have someone who not only embodies the professional attributes, but the personal values and character we aspire to, makes us all very happy indeed.”
