Description

with guest Andrea Soberg, Business Professor at Trinity Western University.When it comes to work, we all want to be valued for who we are and for what we bring to the table. You’d never want our potential to be out-weighed by stereotypes or inconveniences before even being given a chance. Yet, when it comes to hiring a woman, all-too-often potential employers first see the challenges rather than the unique expertise and passions she may bring to a role.Andrea Soberg from Trinity Western University shares about what women and other minority groups face in securing good jobs. More than raising awareness, she offers tangible suggestions to employers—let’s start thinking differently about work and begin designing jobs in new, creative ways. So the next time your company is hiring, perhaps the question needs to be asked, is there room for building this role differently? The results in your workplace may be surprising, in the best way possible!Recommended Resources:International Women's Day - toolkit, Gov't of Canada webpageInterview with Andrea Soberg - articleEpisode hosted by Shelaine.
