For immediate release
Diversity Is the Spice of Organizational Life
Our colleagues in Queen's Master of Industrial Relations program are
putting together a thought-provoking conference on workplace diversity.
Titled WorkScapes 2006, the one-and-a-half-day conference is designed
to explore how diversity can be used by organizations to gain a competitive
edge. The big questions on the agenda: What are the diversity issues that
IR and HR practitioners need to know? What are best practices in managing
diverse workforces? How do you integrate government policy and legislative
requirements?
The keynote speaker will be Yasmin Meralli, Vice President of Diversity
and Workplace Equity, BMO Financial Group. Guest speakers include Michel
Smith, Executive Director of APEX Canada; Hassan Yussuff, Secretary Treasurer
of the Canadian Labour Congress; and Kamal Dib, Manager of Strategic Research
for the Department of Canadian Heritage.
Date: Friday, June 16 and Saturday, June 17
Location: Queen's School of Policy Studies, 138 Union Street, Kingston
Fee: $200 for the full conference; $50 for the banquet and keynote presentation
