Share your perspective in the #letstalkhiringDufferin conversation!
Workforce Planning Board of Waterloo Wellington Dufferin invites community partners and employers to share their information and resources around hiring through short videos under the hashtag #letstalkhiringDufferin. Follow the hashtag and post your videos over the coming weeks to share resources and ideas to employers and jobseekers. The content depends on community input and is a test pilot of the concept.
Charlene Hofbauer of WPB kicked off the conversation in 2 videos released this week about hiring locally. She shares facts about our available workforce, how their perspectives have changed over the pandemic and, in the second video, even covered some starter strategies that local employers can use to hire.
Share the links, talk about your opportunities and who you look for, share resources and tips for employers and jobseekers. The more information that gets out there, the better we can support the community through this challenge.

The Future of Work: Flexibility Within a Framework
What does your return-to-office plan look like?
Many nonprofits and social enterprises adopted new ways of working that left their offices empty. Other front-line organizations had to find innovative ways to continue to support clients, communities and colleagues. As some organizations are beginning to think about coming back to the office and others are surging back, management teams and boards need to be thinking about these fast-moving changes.
