Recruitment & Onboarding

As labour demands and shortages continue to impact tourism and hospitality employers across BC, it has never been more challenging to attract and recruit top talent. One way that tourism and hospitality employers can stand out from the competition is by ensuring that their recruitment and onboarding practices, processes and policies are psychologically safe – where candidates can share their story and true self without fear of reprisal or negative consequences. Having these in place may also make the difference between whether a skilled candidate accepts the job – and remains employed with your business – or not. 

The following resources can help employers consider their current recruitment and new employee onboarding processes through the lens of workplace psychological health and safety. We encourage you to use these tools to recognize and celebrate the practices you might have in place and to identify opportunities to improve and foster a more inclusive and psychologically safe workplace.
