Welcoming Workplaces
The Welcoming Workplaces project is designed to strengthen the capacity of nonprofit organizations to attract and retain employees from under-represented groups such as youth, mature workers, aboriginal persons and new Canadians.
The program combines workshops, peer mentoring and coaching that support participants to develop, adapt and implement human resource policies and processes that improve attraction and retention.
The program includes the following components:
- Series of six workshops to create innovative yet realistic and practical strategies designed to engage and retain existing workers and attract targeted workers.
- One-on-one coaching with participating organizations between each workshop.
- Opportunity for peer mentoring to share successes, challenges, ideas and resources.
ECVO has developed guides for both the host organization and the facilitators to enable other groups to replicate the program in their communities.
