It was a pleasure to be invited as a speaker for the Co-operative and Experiential Education at University of Waterloo Employer Impact Conference on 7th March 2024 for the “Student closing panel: Thriving together for business success".   We had an engaging conversation with students and employers about the benefits of Work Integrated Learning programs (WIL) and discussed how employers can keep pace with emerging trends and values to attract and retain top talent.   Focus of the CCE Employer Impact Conference 2024: ⭐ Gain insights on recruiting emerging talent. ⭐ Hear from students on their workplace motivations. ⭐ Learn strategies for a meaningful work experience.   Key takeaways from the perspective of co-op students:   1️⃣ When looking for a role, what attracts top talent to an employer or a job description?: Alignment with the employer's mission and values, positive and collaborative culture, diverse projects and technology stack, and extra-curricular offerings such as wellness and mentorship programs.   2️⃣ What attributes of a workplace are most important when deciding where to work?: Clear and transparent communication, aligning job roles with company values, flexibility to choose impactful projects that leverage your skills for a bigger impact.   3️⃣ What are some opportunities and the variety of skills and experiences you gained during your co-op?: Valuable experience transitioning into the Canadian workforce, flexibility to pursue my interests, robust technical support, networking opportunities including coffee chats with senior leadership, shadowing business teams to broaden perspective, regular feedback sessions with manager and mentor.   4️⃣ What is a key strategy or way that employers can support you in leveraging your values and encouraging curiosity in the workplace?: Fostering approachability, providing regular feedback, allowing students for open questioning, curiosity-driven initiatives such as "Lunch and Learn" sessions, creating an engaging workspace to promote professional and personal development.   5️⃣ What is one piece of advice that you would give to employers looking to attract emerging talent?: Offering compelling projects, prioritize supporting individual development, providing opportunities for growth that go beyond traditional projects, offer unique perks.   To summarize: We encouraged the employers to demonstrate a commitment to employee enrichment and set them apart as an employer of choice. Being unique in fostering growth and development is key to attracting and retaining top talent in today’s dynamic and evolving workforce.   A heartful thank you to Richard Wikkerink, Vickie Groh (McAlister), Micaela Kelly, MEB, and Kayla Roelfsema for wonderfully co-ordinating this Student Panel and allowing me to contribute to this event.   CEE Employer Impact Conference Details - https://lnkd.in/d-KbWt7f   #CEEImpactConference #UWaterloo #UWaterlooCoop #TalentEvolution #FutureOfWork

🎬 YWF BTS Friday Hey friends, It's Mel, and I'm sitting here at the beautiful 22 Vanderbilt building thanks to the local NYC Culture Amp chapter (thank you!!) who invited folks to attend a co-working day. Man, this space is unreal! Change of scenery is good for so many reasons, right? I work from home primarily, but at least 1-2 times a week I try to find a new place to set-up shop. Why? 👉 You meet new people - Although a solopreneur, I don't accomplish anything without community! I'm a collaborator at heart so this fills my ambivert cup. 👉 It gets my creative juices flowing - who wouldn't be inspired by this view of Grand Central, but I'm also inspired by what I learn from others. 👉 It gives new perspective Questions for you: ❓ Any fellow co-working junkies out there? ❓ What are your favorite places to work from outside of the home/office?

🌟 The Impact of Workplace Diversity and Inclusion 🌟 In today's globalized world, workplace diversity and inclusion have become essential for fostering innovation, creativity, and success. Embracing a diverse and inclusive work environment not only enhances company culture but also drives business growth. Broader Perspectives 🌍 A diverse workforce brings together individuals from various backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. This diversity of thought leads to more innovative solutions and better decision-making. Enhanced Employee Engagement 👥 Inclusive workplaces make employees feel valued and respected, which boosts morale and engagement. When people feel included, they are more likely to contribute their best work and collaborate effectively with their colleagues. Attracting Top Talent 🌟 Companies that prioritize diversity and inclusion are more attractive to top talent. People want to work for organizations that reflect their values and offer a supportive environment where they can thrive. Better Performance 📈 Studies have shown that diverse teams outperform their homogenous counterparts. The unique perspectives and ideas that diversity brings can lead to increased creativity, better problem-solving, and ultimately, improved performance. Positive Company Reputation 🌟 Companies known for their commitment to diversity and inclusion enjoy a positive reputation in the marketplace. This can lead to increased customer loyalty, better partnerships, and a stronger brand image. Through my internship, I've seen how fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome and valued can unlock the full potential of a workforce and achieve greater success. In conclusion, embracing diversity and inclusion is not just the right thing to do—it's also a smart business strategy. By creating an inclusive environment, organizations can drive innovation, engagement, and growth. #DiversityAndInclusion #WorkplaceCulture #Innovation #EmployeeEngagement #BusinessGrowth #InternshipExperience
