Calgary Region Immigrant Employment Council’s Post

Season’s greetings and ngā mihi nui from the whānau at HainesAttract 🎄   As the end of the year approaches, our thoughts turn to special moments with loved ones and a well-deserved break. In talent attraction, recruitment, and people and culture circles, 2023 has been a dynamic year. Leaders in this sector have demonstrated resilience and innovation, steering organisations through unprecedented challenges spotlighted by the pandemic. These challenges inadvertently highlighted the sector's capabilities, showcasing 'people’ professionals' ability to mobilise workforces, build international pipelines, and contribute to New Zealand's resurgence. As the world embraces a "new normal," it's heartening to see events, offices, and cafes buzzing with life and energy once more.    Approaching 2024, the market demands a focus on measurement and effectiveness. Resourcefulness, creativity, and adaptability will be crucial for successful attraction and recruitment outcomes. A secret weapon lies in your organisation's untold stories - even small narrative shifts can redefine attraction strategies.    So, as the year ends, take the chance to unwind, recharge, and connect with loved ones. Share and create stories that will carry us into the promising horizons of 2024. Until the 22nd and beyond, there's much to do, but we wish you the joy of discovering new stories... and embellishing some old ones. Meri Kirihimete! - take a look at what we've been up to this year with our very own HainesAttract wrap-up. https://lnkd.in/gRv6Yd8A https://lnkd.in/gzhF2SqN

I had some great takeaways and am feeling pretty inspired around building a positive "people focused" culture from the Tech Power Breakfast this morning. - Be human first. Get curious, ask people what's important to them. Give people the benefit of the doubt and offer them grace. - Start with trusting your employees. This will go far around hybrid work schedules and PTO policies. - Be clear with what your company values and intentionally acknowledge how these values get recognized by your employees. Give employees a platform to acknowledge each other. Bring values into performance reviews. Be transparent with the strides you're making toward incorporating these values into your company's culture. - Everyone wants to belong. Be willing to ask them how they can feel a great sense of belonging. - Have a hiring and onboarding process where values and culture is communicated clearly. These are just a few. Thanks for sharing Duncan Craig and Sherry Harding, MS, SPHR, SHRM-SCP!
