There are four key factors in developing a departmental strategy for inclusivity:

1. Alignment with University Strategic Goals — Ensure alignment with the university goals for diversity and inclusion as outlined in the university's Strategic Plan and Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy.
2. Fair and Equal Treatment — Ensure that you follow sound employment and salary compensation practices.
3. Effective Networking Resources — Access and employ the most effective sourcing and recruiting tools available.
4. Success Measurement — Develop an internal review protocol to ensure university guidelines and procedures are followed and your sourcing plan is effective.
