Join TAP Network on June 29th for a DE&I Coalition webinar focused on international workers and inclusion.
In the wake of COVID-19, remote work, and an increasingly culturally diverse workforce, how can you make your organization an inclusive environment for newcomers to Canada?
Join us for an informative panel discussion with Ilya Brotzky (CEO of VanHack) and Tina Merry (Senior Cultural Intelligence Consultant), along with Chandler Bartsch (Senior People Operations Specialist at Thinkific) and a recent international hire to provide their valuable perspectives.
Our panel will guide you through the important topics of cultural sensitivity and how we can all contribute to creating a more inclusive workplace for immigrant talent through recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and ongoing retention support.
