 It’s no secret that migrant women face various challenges in their daily lives. For example, a recent report from the International Organization of Migration found that “ women reported more challenges in accessing employment and training opportunities, as well as health-care services, often following abuses and exploitation during the migration journey .” However, beyond difficulty in seeking employment and assimilating into their host countries, migrant women are also “disproportionately at risk from gendered violence, including domestic and sexual violence,” according to End Violence Against Women . A  2022 report from the Globalization and Health Journal “consistently observed that rates of victimization are first, higher for migrants than compared to local populations and second, significantly higher for vulnerable groups of migrants.” Here, vulnerable migrants were characterized “due to their immigration status or individual characteristics (gender, sex, a...

At Joblio, our core aim is to help connect foreign talent with employers that desperately need them – cultivating relationships that are mutually beneficial and allow businesses to thrive. Above all, we’re passionate about ensuring that the opportunities we provide to job seekers enable them to better their lives through upward mobility. What is upward mobility?  “There are various definitions of upward mobility, but they all relate to ‘ the experience of moving up into a more comfortable economic position in society ,’” said Jon Purizhansky , CEO and Founder of Joblio. “For example, by making it easier for companies across Canada to hire foreign talent, we’re providing talent with more opportunities to progress in their careers. This lowers unemployment, while also giving them the chance to obtain higher-paid jobs,” he said. “Our aim to provide foreign talent with upward mobility aligns closely with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals , particularly those that ‘p...

Right now, Canada is experiencing a significant labor/talent shortage. In fact, a study conducted by Proof Point found that “ more than half of Canadian businesses say labor shortages are limiting their ability to increase production—up from 40% before the pandemic and 30% a decade ago .” The impact of these shortages are far-ranging. Firstly, unfilled vacancies cost businesses considerable amounts of money every day, with a recent study predicting losses of   $454 a week or $1800 a month when a job remains vacant . Unfulfilled vacancies also mean that your current employees are forced to fill in the gaps left by their absent teammates. This can cause both efficiency and productivity rates to plummet, putting your business on a downward spiral that can be hard to recover from. Overbearing your current workforce can also lead to burnout, which will worsen employee turnover rates. “As such, it’s crucial that business owners across all industries find new ways to conquer ...

In order to survive and even thrive during a recession, small business owners need to be strategic about their finances. Here are some tips on how to fund your budding small business during tough economic times. 1. Cut costs where you can, without sacrificing quality In today's challenging economy, businesses must be smart about where they spend their money.

Similarly, when hiring staff, don't just go for the lowest bidder; instead, look for vendors who offer good quality at a fair price. By being smart about where you spend your money, you can keep c...
