Case Study: Ashurst advances inclusion and talent development with Forage

Ashurst - Customer Case Study

Ashurst, a global law firm, faced challenges with high attrition rates and a recruitment process that favored academic performance, which did not predict future job success. To find innovative talent from a broader pool and create a more inclusive culture, they partnered with Forage and utilized its virtual experience platform to help change their approach.

Using Forage, Ashurst built an Emerging Talent Hub with courses like "You Are Extraordinary" and "Personal Brand and Networking" to upskill candidates and combat imposter syndrome. This solution, part of a three-year contract, supported the firm's diversity goals. The results included a new, more effective recruitment method with better predictors of performance, longer tenure for new hires, and the implementation of public diversity dashboards to track progress.
