- 5. Diversity Terminology Archetype - The tendency of a group of people to act a certain way Stereotype - The assumption that all people in the group act according to the archetype Values - Personal and group beliefs of what is right and wrong. Culture - Behavioral interpretation of how a community lives out its values in order to survive and thrive. April 22, 2008 5
- 6. Diversity Terminology The Challenge – finding the right words... Visible Minorities – Canadian Census term that refers to Blacks, Latinos, Asians, South Asians, Pacific Islanders, except aboriginals. (Limiting, since it leaves out other groups and people who are bi-racial or multi- racial.) People of Color (POC) - Refers to all nonwhite groups. Some prefer this term as it does not have the diminishing connotation of “minority”. (May be construed more as American terminology.) Minoritized – Refers to a group of people who have been collectively referred to as minorities and systematically denied privileges which appertain to the majority or dominant group in any particular society. (Often used in academic settings.) April 22, 2008 6
- 7. Diversity Terminology Diversity Strategy - A business-based approach to increasing diversity and creating an inclusive environment, yielding business results. Crosscultural competence – The ability to interact effectively with people of different cultures. Crosscultural competence is comprised of four components: a) Awareness of one's own cultural worldview, b) Attitude towards cultural differences, c) Knowledge of different cultural practices and worldviews, and d) crosscultural skills April 22, 2008 7

Diversity is Important to Canadian Companies? 70% of Canadian companies surveyed have a vision statement that reflects a commitment to workforce diversity However... 74% have no resources allocated towards diversity and inclusion programs No tangible measures are taken to recruit diversity groups, or to subsequently communicate with the groups and to improve employee retention by promoting workplace inclusiveness.

A Perfect Storm in the Canadian Workforce Labour Skills Shortage Shortage Only 56% of Canadian employees Greater Industries currently feeling the believe that their employers are greatest pain in terms of skill attracting the people needed for Workforce shortages are oil, gas, energy, healthcare, and government success. Diversity —The Conference Board report — 2006 ROB Best Employer Study “Managing the Mature Workforce” The dominant factor for business in the next two decades is not going to be economics or technology; it will be demographics. — Peter Drucker: The Future Has Happened Already April 22, 2008 12
- 13. Why should Diversity and Inclusion be important to Canadian Companies? Diversity and Inclusion Strategies are Essential because: Our workforce is already extremely diverse. Canada's net labour force growth will come primarily from immigration. By 2010 the skills gap in Canada will worsen. By 2015 not enough qualified people will be available to fill all of the positions vacated by departing mature employees. The Canadian education system is not producing enough graduates in certain skill areas. In 2002, 46% of all immigrants to Canada held at least one post-secondary degree versus the Canadian average of 22%. (Source: Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Statistics Canada) April 22, 2008 13
- 14. Diversity in the Media “77 per cent of Canadians believe more diversity in work teams leads to more innovation, and 79 per cent of those surveyed say that Canada's cultural diversity will give companies a competitive advantage in a global economy in the future.” Globe & Mail– September 28, 2007 “A diverse workforce is a more engaged one and that ultimately leads to profitability.” Edmonton Journal – April 5, 2008 “Creating an inclusive workplace must be a key business objective – one pursued with the same energy we invest developing new markets.” Financial Post Working – April 9, 2008 April 22, 2008 14

- As you all know, employee relations is one of the pillars of CSR. Inclusion is essential to good employee relations. Every organization has diversity, but many organizations struggle with inclusion.
- Chocolate milk demonstration. Must be cold milk! Hold up glass, pour milk into glass, say "this represents corporate Canada". Hold up chocolate. Say “This represents visible diversity. It covers all areas of diversity – people of colour, aboriginals, lesbian gay bisexual and transgendered, religious diversity, disability, and so on". Pour chocolate into cold milk - “Here's what corporate Canada looks like with diversity; it's almost all at the bottom.” Stir the milk. “Our philosophy is Diversity is the mix, Inclusion is making the mix work. When you stir it up, and do it well, it works. And, really, it’s more appealing. Isn’t that a nice colour? And it tastes good too.”
- All these terms are problematic in some way
- PLAY VIDEO FROM ANDRES We’re going to watch a 4 minute video featuring Andres Tapia, Hewitt’s Global Chief Diversity Office and Emerging Workforce Solutions Leader. (and I thought I had a long title!) Andres has led the charge in embedding Diversity & inclusion at Hewitt for more than a decade and has been instrumental in developing many of the concepts I will discuss today. Andres is going to provide some framing around terminology and the evolution of diversity and inclusion programs. Please excuse the Hewitt-specific references. This video was made for an internal audience, but he explains things well, I thought it would be useful to frame our discsussion. When he mentions Lincolnshire, that is Hewitt’s Corporate Headquarters. It’s a suburb of Chicago.
- G-Force & HRPAO study of more than 800 Canadian companies. Thus, only 26% have staff responsible for diversity issues. Only 28% of companies monitor the makeup of their workforce. Only 18% set objectives for workforce diversity.
- Yellow squares are global trends shaping our workforce. Most of the world, except Latin America, we don’t have enough people to replace the retiring baby boomers. Europe, Asia & North America is impacted. Economic and Political volatility both at the national level and at the level of social systems. We have wars, we have impending economic crises. In many areas there are not enough workers to put into the system. Fewer government and corporate guarantees – less guarantee in pensions, more expectations that employees will save for own retirement. Layoffs, mergers & acquisitions. Outsourcing to India and China. Rapidly advancing tech – plug in anywhere – blackberries, constantly connected to work. Increased Productivity of individuals, but at what cost? Globalization – that one goes without saying. Seismic Demographic Shifts 4 generations in the workforce Baby Boomer retirement bubble Tripling of the Hispanic and Asian populations over the next 50 years By 2008, 70% of all new hires are women and minorities Economic & Political Volatility Volatile stock markets Rising price of oil Immigration Reduced public funds for education Middle East conflict Global terrorism Fewer Government & Corporate Guarantees M&As RIFs Pensions fading Social security benefits diminishing Healthcare costs increase; less coverage Rapidly Advancing Technology Internet Broadband wireless PDAs Laptops Globalization Travel More college educated in developing countries Outsourcing/off shoring work
- Each one of these trends creates a new workforce with new characteristics. Diverse Workforce More diverse in ALL areas: Age/generational; Race/ethnicity; Gender; Faith; Disability; LGBT One in 10 in developed world is a migrant; migration to U.S. tripled since 1970 More generations in the workforce - Boomers 43%; Xers 10%; Yers 10%; Veterans 5% (Benefits Quarterly) One-quarter of people age 65 to 74 are working (Bureau of Labor Statistics) More gender-balanced workforce, including women of all ages Issues of faith and sexual preference are increasingly prevalent, but increasingly muddy, in the workplace The range of disabilities is more complex, with learning disabilities and disabilities related to aging added to the mix Current U.S. mix: 240 million whites, 44 million Hispanics, 38 million blacks and 13 million Asians (Time, Oct. 30, 2006). Only Hispanics are having enough children to replace themselves in the population For every 1,000 Americans, 173 speak a language other than English at home. In 1950, 90% of U.S. was white. By 2040, only half will be white. Hispanic & Asian populations will triple in 50 years (U.S. Census Bureau). Minority purchasing power = $U.S. 1.7 trillion. $600 billion of this is Latino purchasing--greater than GNP of Mexico (Zelig Council of Economic Development). Smaller & Less Skilled Workforce 2010: 10M more jobs > workers in U.S. (Bureau of Labor Statistics) 16% drop in middle-aged workers More, earlier retirements Younger, less-skilled workforce; skill attainment trails demand; fewer college educated (need stats) Growing preference for non-corporate, “non-traditional” or entrepreneurial jobs 62% of HR professionals say most or some workers lack needed skills (SHRM) Reduction in corporate training Multilayered Responsibilities Sandwich generation issues (people raising children and caring for elderly parents) Elder Care Child Care Work/life imbalance Autonomous & Empowered Workforce Workers becoming more influential - have expertise, skills and desire to make more decisions Encouraged to take responsibility for own careers Layoffs created free-agents who are returning Information readily accessible via internet reducing job search costs, giving HR data on salaries Experience with multiple employers now an asset Portable benefits Pay and promotion based on performance Virtual: Co-workers in various locations and countries Remote work arrangements Consider this: $260 million in vehicle sales since 2003, product innovations and on-target ethnic marketing and advertising campaigns at Ford. 70% of all Latinos with insurance have it through Allstate. Increasing 401(k) participation 18% and contributions among savers 22% at HCA. More than $100,000 saved by a major hospital expanding in five of the most diverse cities by designing larger waiting rooms that accommodate extended families, typical for Latino and African American families, as opposed to designing around white families.
- Dan One example of this reality: - Recruiters at TELUS in Calgary say they are finding it much more difficult to find qualified team members than it was five years ago. Five years ago - new team members were often over-qualified for their initial role – they were looking for an opportunity to “get their foot in the door” Today – new team members hired for entry-level positions are more difficult to find and are “just qualified” Labour Shortage – shrinking labour force aging baby boom encouragement of early retirement restrictive immigration Shortage will be mitigated somewhat by 2016 when Generation Y fully in workforce – but that is a whole new challenge. They have dramatically different expectations of their work experience. Skills Shortage Skills and experience retiring out the door decreasing levels of higher education decreased corporate funding of training Restrictive accreditation policies for immigrants (“taxi driver syndrome”) Knowledge Shortage Knowledge is being lost (i.e. not captured/passed on) as baby boomers retire Organizations are having to “re-learn” the lost knowledge (e.g. NASA) In a recent report published by Korn/Ferry International “The Board's Role in Succession Planning”, 66% of 165 Canadian companies surveyed felt their boards were not giving succession planning the time it deserves
- “ Best buy is among few companies turning its own diverse workforce into a competitive advantage.” Globe & Mail – November 9, 2007
- In 2006, working population is slightly over 70% of total population. In 2006, median age is 39. Natural increase is negative – in other words, there are more deaths than births Retiree dependency ratio – proportion of retirees compared to proportion of working population. In 2008 the retiree dependency ratio is approximately 22%. (to be confirmed by InfoCan)
- Immigrants in Canada’s Major Urban Centres 62.9% of all recent immigrants to Canada settled in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. 45.7% of the Toronto population were foreign-born 39.6% of the Vancouver population were foreign-born. These proportions surpass all major cities in the U.S. and Australia. 23.6% of the Calgary population were foreign-born 20.6% of the Montreal population were foreign-born
- Over 95% of Canada’s People of Colour live in one of 30 cities. Very few live in rural areas or small towns.
