CareerWise is always on the lookout for the latest reports related to career development. Here are three reports that we found interesting this week.
The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the economic integration of many immigrants (Statistics Canada)
Economic lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected the immigrant population and disrupted their finances more than the Canadian-born population. When the pandemic first hit, recent immigrants, especially immigrant women, were more likely than their Canadian-born counterparts to transition out of employment.
Building Workplaces Where Neurodivergent Workers Thrive (Conference Board of Canada and Future Skills Centre)
Among the key findings:
- Non-neurodivergent managers in particular would benefit from a strengthened understanding of the barriers that neurodivergent employees face.
- Half of neurodivergent employees surveyed feel that informing their employers about their neurodiversity status might limit their opportunities for career progression or have other negative repercussions.
