Impact Stories
Attract, Retain & Support: ISANS Employer Supports with Clifford MacDonald
“What I found was that having people from diverse backgrounds truly enhanced the dynamic of our team. It opened us up, brought different cultures into play, and enriched everything we did. We weren’t just filling positions—we were gaining new perspectives. Since then, I’ve become a strong immigration champion. For anyone considering hiring from diverse backgrounds, it’s important to think beyond staffing needs and consider how you'll support and onboard people from different cultures.”
