To prevent this from happening, you need to revisit and make sure that your company's culture is actually including and embracing diversity. Ensure that everyone - from management to new hires - buys into the values of diversity. Additionally, consider introducing programs such as unconscious bias training for hiring managers. Create strategies and measures for ensuring diverse talent pipelines are actively sought out and prioritized, thus eliminating the likelihood of exclusionary practices in recruitment and hiring practices. Finally, periodically assess existing employee demographics as compared to available labour market information data so that any disparities can be quickly detected and addressed accordingly.

You could focus more on cultural fit during the recruitment process by emphasizing core values of your company and looking for people who share similar values. Additionally, providing cultural training to newly hired employees can help them better understand and respect your organization's culture and values. Finally, clearly communicating expectations of acceptable behavior and immediately addressing any issues that arise is important in order to set a zero-tolerance standard for inappropriate behavior.
