Description:
This webinar will share the result of a partnership research between Saint Paul University and N4 about the subjective experiences of inclusion for immigrant employees in eight settlement agencies across Ontario. The research questioned to what extent the commitment of these agencies to the inclusion of immigrants was reflected in their work culture, policies, and structures. The webinar will discuss the tension between the agencies’ celebration of diversity, their dedication to inclusion, and the constraints that lead sometimes to the utilitarian hiring of immigrants as means to an end. It will also present best practices and concrete strategies for creating a welcoming environment that promotes equity and inclusion. The focus will be on practices specific to the settlement sector.
