Hello and welcome to the diversity employment blog, brought to you by the fine folks at TalentOyster, the leading diversity job board in Canada. In this blog we will look at trends, issues and innovations when it comes to diversity employment in Canada. This blog is open to anyone to read of course but the intended audience is companies, HR staff, recruiters and hiring managers who are interested in diversity employment issues.
What does "diversity employment" actually mean? Well, in Canada it means companies who successfully hire from the widest possible sourcing pool. This pool includes visible minorities, new immigrants, aboriginals, women, persons with disabilities and GLBT and it's rare to find organizations, even progressive ones, who speak to all these groups successfully.
The "success" in hiring part is also (somewhat obviously) important but it can be at times overlooked. Finding diverse candidates is one thing, being able to successfully integrate them into your workforce though is something else again. One of the issues we'll be touching on in this blog as a regular issue is how do you really make an inclusive work environment open to everyone?
So, again welcome and please browse through some of our posts and tell us what you think.
