Building A Culturally Competent Workplace
The Workplace Culture Program helps Nova Scotia employers by:
- Raising awareness of the benefits of cross-cultural talents and experience
- Identifying methods by which the organization can improve its cross-cultural experience
- Improving the ability to retain immigrant employees
Immigrants entering the workforce are a source of labour market growth. They bring benefits such as innovation, determination, and connections – to potential partners, suppliers and customers. Retaining talented immigrant employees brings competitive advantage and is a key factor in becoming an employer of choice. |
