In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss practical ways we can support employers who hire individuals with disabilities. Employers are often reluctant to hire people with disabilities primarily because they struggle to understand the challenges and strengths these individuals bring to the job. According to the Accessible Canada Directorate, 72 percent of people without disabilities surveyed reported understanding what a disability is, though only 47 percent (less than half) said they understood well the types of barriers those with disabilities may face.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss how employers can establish themselves as an 'employer of preference'. If an employer is out there scouting the very best talent, they will need to make accommodations. This might be for a student, who needs time for classes or a parent who needs to pick up their kids from school. They will need to accommodate someone who gets chronic migraines, or has severe back trauma. Perhaps that great employee is working on their credential recognition so they know they won't be with them forever but can still benefit from their skills and experience right now. If they are willing to do this through the hidden job market, why not through job development?

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the challenge of working with HR professionals. In some ways HR professionals are the gatekeepers who prevent job seekers from connecting with hiring managers and in another way they are a wealth of information about the hiring process and are often the advocates of inclusive hiring programs.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the growing trend of 'employer paralysis' where employers are opting to neither hire new people nor let go of existing ones. We look at seven specific things job developers can do to capture an employer's attention. A poor economy or economic uncertainty doesn't mean employers can't continue to grow and expand their businesses. American Airlines, Fisher-Price, KFC, Texas Instruments, Warner Bros., and Westin Hotels all opened for business in 1930, the first year of the Great Depression.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss whether job seekers should modify their personality to be successful at job search or in the workplace. For many, adapting is already part of the job. More than two-thirds of job seekers (68%) have changed aspects of their personality to fit workplace culture, while 59% say their personality at work is very different from who they are in everyday life.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss the importance of applying to employers as soon as a job is posted. Not only does it demonstrate a great work ethic but often employers make their choice based in early applicants. According to an analysis of 11 million interactions on the freelancer platform Fiverr, those who took more than 10 minutes to respond to a work request were 30% less likely to get hired. In today’s brutal job-hunting landscape, speed is beating out skill.

In this episode of #MotivatingMondays, we discuss Canada's development of Workforce Alliances. Last week, the Government of Canada revealed the Transportation and Supply Chain Workforce Alliance. It follows the Mining and Minerals Workforce Alliance and the Advanced Manufacturing Workforce Alliance, which were both launched recently. Ottawa says the broader strategy is intended to give workers more opportunities while helping employers recruit the skilled employees they need.
