✅ Why This Commitment Is Important:

Point-in-time staffing profiles give immigrant-serving agencies a clearer picture of how they can support your organization’s inclusion goals.

When you send your staffing profile, Settlement Services in the Bow Valley will follow up to offer tailored support to your team. They will also share information you provide with Foreign Worker Support, who provide free, confidential support for work permit holders in the Bow Valley.

This information also helps other BVIP partners support the changing integration needs of our community. Since employment is a key driver of immigration in the Bow Valley and census data is a lagging indicator of trends, completing this commitment helps us identify and respond to settlement needs, such as demand for new classes or services.

Intended Outcomes:

  1. Tailored support for employers and staff
    Immigrant-serving agencies can offer more relevant programs and services based on the specific makeup of each workplace.

  2. Improved coordination across community partners
    Up-to-date staffing data helps BVIP and its partners respond to current immigration and integration needs more effectively.

  3. Enhanced inclusion and retention strategies
    Employers gain insight into their workforce diversity, which supports stronger planning for inclusive practices and employee retention.
