Advocating for Inclusive Hiring Practices in the Workplace (#413)

This simulation was developed in collaboration with Gordon Pon, School of Social Work, 91心頭利.

Staff members at a mental health centre have become concerned about hiring practices and policies. A counsellor raises the issue of representative hiring for front-line workers and administrative staff.

Learning Objectives

  • Maintaining a professional attitude and demeanour 
  • Listening to concerns 
  • Adjusting approach when needed 
  • Providing a clear, achievable and supported request 

Information for Learners

You are a counsellor in the Child and Family Mental Health Centre and you identified a need to revisit the centre���s hiring policies. Nancy Smith, the temporary receptionist, is capable; but, as a white English speaking woman, she does not reflect the community served by the centre. During today���s staff meeting at the Child and Mental Health Centre, you feel it is important to raise the hiring policy issue as a decision must be made soon about either hiring Nancy full-time or convening a hiring committee to consider other candidates.
