    Inclusive strategies for supporting people experiencing disability -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 41

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re taking a closer look at disclosing disability. New research from the Conference Board of Canada provides valuable employer and employee insights that can assist us in not only better preparing our clients or students but also support employers in creating a more inclusive workplace. Employees with disabilities typically disclose only when necessary—such as to request accommodation (53.6 per cent), to explain performance issues (50.3 per cent), or to account for absences (42.7 per cent). #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students. If you would like to join us LIVE, we meet every Monday morning online with job developers from across Canada to discuss a new topic. Meetings are 30 minutes and start at 8:30 Pacific; 9:30 Mountain; 10:30 Central; 11:30 Eastern; 12:30 Atlantic and at 1pm in Newfoundland and Labrador.

  2. Staying on top of the 2026 changes to Employment Standards -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 40

    Staying on top of the 2026 changes to Employment Standards -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 40

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re talking about the massive changes that have come and are coming to employment standards across the country. Each province and territory is angling to be the most attractive place to live whether for young people, immigrants or those from other parts of Canada and they are introducing worker-friendly standards to encourage this. According to the Canadian Occupational Projection System, less than 50% of our future workforce growth is going to come from young people entering the workforce for the first time. Barely 25-35 per cent of our workforce needs will come from immigrants and that means the other 15-25 per cent will need to come from engaging people who have checked out of the workforce or encouraging people to move from other provinces. #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.

    An employer engagement strategy that will change your life -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 35

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we’re talking about the self-defeating challenges of directing your clients to job postings and a new strategy that doesn’t focus on job postings at all. Ideally, candidates should be applying for jobs that haven't yet been posted. We want our clients to be the only person the employer is considering. We want to eliminate competition and allow our clients to sell themselves on four different criteria: personal fit, transferable skills, applicable experience and long-term potential. We'll discuss where to find those jobs. #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.

    Seeking out the benefits of ‘Holiday Hiring’ -- #MotivatingMondays Episode 34

    In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we take a closer look at the benefits of pursuing seasonal employment for those wanting long-term jobs. According to recruitment firm Cadient, "the percentage of seasonal holiday employees retained as permanent staff varies widely by company and industry, but some employers convert as many as 35-40% to permanent positions. The overall retention rate in the retail industry, which heavily relies on seasonal staff, is often high due to the nature of the work." #MotivingMondays, is a weekly YouTube series dedicated to help Canadian job developers and other employer engagement professionals develop the tools, resources, expertise and network needed to excel in achieving sustainable employment outcomes for their clients and students.
