A new group at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 is aimed at providing professional development and mentorship programming specifically for young women.

Young Women at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s (YWQ) is part of the larger Employee Resource Group initiative which was developed as a way to promote the career development of equity seeking groups on campus. YWQ is the first of these groups to be launched and is coordinated by Meagan Suckling, a member of the marketing and communications team at the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

카지노 게임 컬렉션YWQ will provide women ages 20-35 with the resources and support that they need to perform their jobs effectively and evolve and grow into young and empowered leaders,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Ms. Suckling says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The group will aim to offer a platform for young women to exert influence and build a vibrant and innovative campus.카지노 게임 컬렉션

ERGs are part of a university-wide strategic focus on talent management and are open to anyone who wishes to come forward and begin a group, especially in areas that are traditionally equity seeking. The only other university in Canada to establish such groups is the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto, which has a thriving LGBTQ ERG.

ERGs are popular at American universities such as Stanford, Princeton and Harvard but are relatively new to post-secondary institutions. They have proven successful in the private sector and are linked to increased recruitment and retention of talent as well as organizational innovation.

The Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s initiative has the full support of the Equity Office and Human Resources. It has also gained management backing.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I fully support Meagan and her work establishing the Young Women at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s group,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Adam Walker, Director, Marketing and Communications, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. 카지노 게임 컬렉션If we all engage more and take an active role outside of our regular work activities, we can make Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s an even better place to work and develop our careers.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Along with development and mentorship, the goals of YWQ are to offer a voice and resources to young women who work at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to surface areas that can use improvement, teach young women how to bring innovative ideas to their communities within Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and have an impact, attract innovative and diverse talent to the university and help with retention efforts and to exert influence and make changes to enhance the university environment.
