Download or read book HRM Innovations in Canada written by Gordon Betcherman and published by Kingston, Ont. : Industrial Relations Centre, Queen's University. This book was released on 1994 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Abstract: This paper examines the incidence and sustainability of two types of workplace innovation: employee participation programs and incentive pay systems. The analysis is based on the Working With Technology Survey ... The results show that the incidence of both employee participation programs and incentive pay systems rose, although not dramatically, between 1985 and 1991. Large establishments and those under foreign control were most likely to introduce these types of programs. The presence of a union was associated with a higher probability of reporting an employee participation program but a lower probability of reporting an incentive pay plan. There was also a high degree of association at the establishment level between the two types of organizational innovation examined and between each of them and technological innovation. An important issue cocerns the sustainability of workplace innovations such as employee participation and incentive-based pay systems ... The data suggest that these innovations have a substantial failure rate.

Not only do immigrants contribute to Canada's overall innovation performance, but in turn, simple innovations can help solve complex labour market integration challenges for firms, governments, communities, and educators. So what can Canadian organizations do to better integrate immigrants into the labour market and take advantage of their skills and innovative ideas? Join us for this 60-minute webinar to hear about how you can benefit from and contribute to such innovations. You will hear from Citizenship and Immigration Canada's (CIC) Policy Innovation Division (PiD), whose work centers on collaboration with diverse sets of organizations. The PiD focuses on rapid testing (or prototyping) of new interventions that improve economic and social outcomes for newcomers. There will be time to engage through Q&A on how your organization can also partner and innovate in simple ways to address challenges of integrating immigrants into the labour market, enhancing your organization's performance. Participants will also hear from 1st place and fan-favourite winner of Canada's largest-ever hackathon. Drawing from their own experience as innovators, brothers Carlos and Robert Saavedra will introduce an app they are developing. The app, Imminy, designs paths for prospective and new immigrants, helping address long-term challenges faced by policy makers and communities.
