From Away: Immigration to Effective Workplace Integration
Jeanne Martinson
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 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 explores those different perspectives as well as Canada"s immigration history, snapshots of the four key countries, strategies around language and accent issues, and how to recruit within a cultural lens. Although the information is tagged to a specific country, recognize that this is a starting point for your communication with a staff member or colleague. Once we can unbundle the cultural blueprints of behaviour of our subordinates, colleagues, and ourselves - we can move from immigration to effective workplace integration.
