February 16, 2016 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

I recently attended the Regional Diversity Roundtable’s event “It’s 2015: Which Women have Arrived?” It was an interesting and thought-provoking evening. One of the speakers was Sandeep Tatla – Chief Diversity Officer from the Ontario College of Trades. Here were a few statistics Sandeep …

Holidays & Diversity

October 21, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Invariably when I do workshops on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I), one of the themes that comes up is holidays. With the cold weather and Halloween approaching, it makes me think of the many weeks of Christmas carols we will experience when shopping. I love Christmas, and I love to sing - but the …

Supplier Diversity

September 27, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

One aspect of diversity we are not talking much about in Canada is Supplier Diversity. Growing in popularity in the USA and UK, Supplier Diversity is another way for a company to exercise their diversity and inclusion commitments. Supplier Diversity is simple: it requires companies to take a look …

More than Mentorship

September 19, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Mentorship has been around for a long time, but there is a new "ship" on the block! Sponsorship. In light of my recent posts, I thought this would be a good topic for today. Mentorship is about development. Sponsorship is about advancement. While development can lead to advancement, given the …

Incentives for Hiring Immigrants – friend or foe?

September 16, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

Thanks to the politicians, the debate rages - is it a hand-out or is it increasing access? (and don't get me started on the difference between "foreign workers" a la Tim Hudak and immigrants looking for work). Listening to Q this morning on CBC, I heard an interesting interview with 2 successful …

MBA Diversity

September 12, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder 2 Comments

I have spent the past 4 days with hundreds of Schulich MBA students. A colleague of mine was running the team building program for them, and I was in charge of the diversity session. It was a great experience, and I couldn't help but notice the diversity (or in some cases, lack thereof) within the …

“Foreign Workers” – really Tim?!

September 8, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder 1 Comment

Since the foundation of the work I do is helping people to become aware of the assumptions, stereotypes, and perceptions they carry - and how these (often unconsciously) create barriers for others and between themselves and others - I have to comment on Tim Hudak's use of the term "foreign …

Women in Management

September 1, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

We haven't come as far as we think. Although there are many more women in the workforce than in 1987 when the Conference Board of Canada started their study, the number of women in middle and senior management has flat-lined. Men are still twice as likely to be in management positions as women. …

After the UK Riots…

August 18, 2011 by Annemarie Shrouder Leave a Comment

This past weekend I caught a brief story on CBC news about how UK Prime Minster David Cameron is considering assistance from New York Police Commissioner and Los Angeles police chief Bill Bratton to help address the violence that has shaken cities in England this month. Whether this partnership …
