Remember, it’s Ramadan

May 21, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

For many of us, the fact that it’s Ramadan may not even be on our radar. Ramadan is the 9thmonth in the Islamic calendar and is a month where Muslims around the world fast between sunrise and sunset. As the days get longer, consider what I might be like not to eat or drink for about 14.5 …

Exploring Resistance – Part 3

May 7, 2019 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Over the last two weeks I’ve been exploring resistance – specifically to immigration and to the  accommodations we make (and/or are asked to make) for individuals who are new to Canada and who are bringing different beliefs and customs with them. If you missed them, here are Part 1 and Part 2. The …

A new look at a daily activity

August 27, 2015 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

On my run yesterday, I had to cross a busy street. This isn't unusual. But yesterday I noticed a new button at the crosswalk.  It's likely not new, but it's the first time I noticed it. And I noticed it, because it beeped when I pressed it. The beep caused me to pause. If I had a visual impairment, …

Disabilities and the Workforce

August 2, 2012 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Monday on CBC radio's Metro Morning, one of the topics was people with disabilities in the Canadian workforce - or rather the lack thereof (listen here). People with disabilities make up about 17% of the Canadian population, and experience  higher unemployment rates  (4x the national average), and …

Taking another look at Accommodation

February 24, 2012 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

This week Michael Bach (Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at KPMG) spoke with Matt Galloway on Metro Morning. In 7:19 minutes he covered a lot, but the thing that struck me most was in the first minute. Hats off to you Michael, for astutely pointing out that workplaces accommodate …

Faith at Work III

December 5, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Sometimes at a conference, we are challenged by the people in the seats, as well as by those on the stage. The Diversity@Work conference put on by Skills for Change on November 9th was no exception. The panel discussion (When is a hat not just a hat?)  was interesting; we heard from a Minister, a …

Faith @ Work II

November 22, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

One of the workshops I attended at the Nov. 9th Diversity@Work conference put on by Skills for Change was by Nadir Shirazi. He spoke about dedicated spaces in offices for quiet time, prayer, meditation etc. Nadir’s presentation was very interesting; he shared the challenge for companies to name …

Faith @ Work…?

November 8, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Tomorrow I’m going to the day-long conference  http://www.diversityatwork.org/ put on by Skills for Change. The topic is faith in the workplace – an issue that is on the radar more often these days in the world of diversity and inclusion. I’m looking forward to the panel discussion on the …

Learning in a second language

October 6, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I'm in New Brunswick today! This afternoon my colleague and I will deliver Diversity and Inclusion workshops. I love to facilitate, and D&I is "my thing". What makes this experience a little different, however, is that this part of New Brunswick is very French. Which makes me wonder...do I tell …
