The Local Labour Market Plan 2021 |
Workforce Planning Hamilton has created a report to provide an update on the state of the local labour market in 2021 and reflect on preliminary insights for 2022. Hamilton’s labour market has faced an unprecedented impact in the last two years due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. As the pandemic ensued, a complex and changing narrative followed, making it difficult to describe and predict the outcome.
*The report is available in English and French Language.

Career-building strategies and challenges for new professionals
|
In my previous article, I discussed the importance of opting for an in-person rather than virtual way of working to develop a good network of contacts when starting a job with a new employer. I also presented a winning strategy to facilitate integration, namely adapting to the culture of our new employer. In this article, I will present other strategies to help new employees integrate their work well, but also to develop, flourish and, if desired, climb the ladder! As you will see, all these strategies require an extensive and well-established network.
Understand expectations and instructions
When you start a new job, in addition to establishing the expectations and objectives to be achieved with your managers, it is strongly recommended to ask them for feedback and to ask the people around you. The quicker we get feedback, the more concise and direct they are, the easier it is to correct things early and avoid getting into trouble. When we are physically in our workplace, the colleagues present with us have more opportunities to observe our actions and identify errors or suggest more efficient working methods.
It’s also much easier to talk to colleagues you have already been in direct contact with, rather than people you have barely seen in lowercase on a small Zoom screen. In addition, the chances that colleagues will identify periods of questioning or uncertainty will also be greater if they rub shoulders with you, thus favouring the intervention or support of caring people who would not have the opportunity to perceive your difficulties in the context of teleworking.
