About this listen

From Free Rein Associates and Life Strategies comes the Diversity Disconnect Podcast. Tasked with exploring the helping and hindering factors in job acquisition and employment maintenance for underrepresented groups, the research team spent six months speaking with residents in the rural communities of Agassiz, Hope, Merritt, Ashcroft, and Princeton, British Columbia. This limited series explores the findings of the Diversity Disconnect research and examines the 20 factors that influence employment success for Indigenous Peoples and persons with disabling conditions.

  • We’re All In This Together - Episode 05
    Feb 5 2025

    The bonds that tie your community together can have a major influence in your success. Knowing who your neighbours are, authentically, and what motivates them can help to strengthen those bonds. And when people, workplaces, and communities allow for that authentic connection, you are empowered to find your right fit.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why it’s important for communities to work together, especially if you live in a rural and remote region
    • How understanding your motivation (and the motivation of your team and colleagues) can significantly improve your workplace
    • What it means to allow for authenticity in the workplace in order to ensure strong fit
