SUMMARY:Integrating different cultures in the workplace (Host: YT)
DESCRIPTION:Integrating different cultures in the workplace (Host: YT)\nAugust 11th\, 1-2 EST / 2-3 ADT \nThe pandemic has transformed business operations and employee expectations. With 77% of Canadians desiring flexibility to work in the office and remotely\, the hybrid workplace model is becoming the “new normal.” The hybrid model has allowed organizations to access global talent and support the creation of broadly diverse teams that bring together different skill sets\, experiences and ideas\, and create opportunities to learn and grow from different cultures and wisdoms. \nHybrid is the new normal\, and an opportunity to rethink and remake organizational culture together. A recent HP Canada survey found that over a third of Canadian employees believe a hybrid work model is the most beneficial for advancing marginalized groups. Yet the increasing multicultural workforce comes with the challenge of integrating different cultures and wisdom in the workplace. While the importance of workplace culture is growing\, and a Deloitte survey found that 94% of executives and 88% of employees believe a distinct workplace culture is important to business success\, 81% of employees believe their managers need to be better trained to effectively manage a hybrid workplace team. In the post-secondary world\, some institutes’ anti-discrimination policies have required learning modules related to cultural diversity\, and created opportunities for intercultural learning though events and celebrations. \nWhat is clear is that as employers\, post-secondary institutes\, non-profits\, and the people that work at and with them\, we all have a role to play in better understanding and engaging people from different cultural backgrounds to build a better future of work. To do this\, organizations need to develop processes and practices that better support cultural diversity and understanding across all areas and functions of an organization or community. \nJoin leaders as they share their personal and organizational initiatives\, experiences and learnings in integrating different cultures in the workplace: \n\nRuby Latif\, Senior Manager\, Ernst & Young\n\nIntroduced by Florence Rousseau\, Director\, Marketing & Communications\, Magnet\, and moderated by Chantal Brine\, CEO\, EnPoint\, we invite you to the next installment of the Building Future Ready Communities: Virtual Tour series for community building and an inspirational panel discussion and Q&A! \nIf you are unable to join us live\, sign-up anyways and you’ll receive instructions on how to access the recording afterwards. \nRegister here! \nAbout the panelists:\nRuby Latif\, Senior Manager\, Ernst & Young \nRuby Latif\, BA\, BAH\, MA\, DSocSCI (ABD)\, is a Senior Manager in EY’s People Advisory Services practice. She is a communications strategist\, researcher\, and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion consultant. She has over 15 years of diversity\, inclusion\, and equity management experience leveraging research and strategic partnerships in the service of community initiatives.

SUMMARY:The Secret to Building a 7-figure Business
DESCRIPTION:Too many women are hustling the joy right out of their business\, and it’s costing them money. \n\nThey work longer and longer hours struggling to get ahead and grow their brand…\nThey put up with nightmare clients who suck up their time and steal their sanity…\nThey tone down their magic trying to be everything for everybody…\n\nMaybe you can relate. \nBefore I cracked the code and built a 7-figure business that I ADORE\, I did all those things too. In fact\, I hustled so hard I literally made myself sick. Then everything came to a screeching halt — including my cash flow. \nThat’s when I met a teacher who showed me the real way to build lasting\, reliable revenue. \nNow\, I’ve put together a free Masterclass to show you how to do it too. \nIt all comes down to one small change that creates an incredibly lucrative domino effect for your entire brand.

SUMMARY:Mastering the Employee Experience: Included and Engaged
DESCRIPTION:Creating an inclusive and engaging workplace is challenging\, especially in our world today. Whether our workplaces are in-person\, hybrid or remote\, every workplace wants to create a successful and productive culture\, but we don’t always know how. \nIn this 60 minute presentation\, Roman 3 will address the importance of employee engagement and inclusion\, as well as the common mistakes we make when trying to create both. We will describe what can happen when we stop addressing them as separately and start thinking of them as two sides of the same coin. We will leave you with clear and tangible examples of what success needs to look like in order to create a workplace that makes everyone feel respected\, trusted\, encouraged\, and inspired. \nWe will also look to engage as much input and questions from participants and use as many real-life examples as possible to ensure that all information is practical and meaningful to everyone in attendance.
