Greater Corner Brook presents: The Business Case for Diversity

The Business Case for Diversity With the most rapidly aging population in Canada and growing out migration to other parts of the country, businesses in Newfoundland and Labrador are increasingly challenged to secure a stable and reliable source of labour. Even more, these structural challenges have only become more acute in recent years with the crash in oil prices and the resulting economic downturn. At the same time, however, immigration to the province is accelerating as newcomers arrive to fill shortages at all levels of the labour force, in both large and small communities alike. Is your business prepared to operate within this increasingly diverse marketplace? This presentation will make the case for cultural diversity as a real business asset that can be harnessed to drive greater levels of entrepreneurialism, innovation, and economic growth – and will show how businesses that take simple steps to manage diversity in the workplace can achieve a decisive advantage over their competitors
