A recent feature in the
Globe & Mail looked at the successful hiring practice of Toronto-based beer brewing company Steam Whistle. The company's adoption of inclusive hiring practices has resulted in a management team that is 50 percent foreign born. According to the Steam Whistle co-founders, the willingness to take a chance on new Canadian has been integral to the company's success.
"[Immigrants] have risked everything to build a new life," Steam Whistle co-founder Greg Taylor says. "They take their jobs very seriously and are very passionate, and at the end of the day that helps your bottom line."
"Since its inception in 1998, Toronto-based has made inclusive hiring a priority, says Mr. Taylor. And while the practice is clearly good for the community, and adheres to the company's determination to be good corporate citizens, Mr. Taylor insists it has also aided the business. Today, 18 per cent of the company's 115 employees - and half of its management team - hail from other countries, including Sri Lanka, the Czech Republic, Cuba, Portugal and Russia."
