by Jeanne MartinsonPublish: Feb 28, 2017BusinessBook Overview
This book is written for managers and leaders who have struggled with understanding our newest immigration wave and how to move from just hiring immigrants to effective workplace integration. This book focuses on the four top source countries of immigrants to Canada: China, India, Pakistan and Philippines. It addresses key ways western and eastern societies see the work world differently. It explores specific ways people from these societies are dissimilar to Canadian workplace culture in how they share information, give feedback, delegate, make decisions and manage conflict and schedules.This book also explores Canada`s immigration history, snapshots of the four key countries, strategies around language and accent issues, and how to recruit within a cultural lens.This book will help you as a manager to decode those cultural differences so you can hire the best, keep the best and maximize the talent of the best.
