I attended a terrific webinar facilitated by Jen Cort that explored some very practical and well organized ideas for more inclusive hiring.

Today I wanted to share 5 different Google Docs with a team of colleagues. I did not accept the default where 'Notify people' is checked because this meant that team members would each receive 5 notifications.

The intent here was to create a single point of reference for the things we ended up discussing in the meeting.
