Changing Demographics

So I like the idea that we could post videos to our blogs. Sometimes it gets boring reading all these articles so I decided to just type diversity in the workplace in the youtube search engine. I found an interesting video called "Diversity in the Workplace-Changing Demographics ". The video talks about Canada's labor source and how it will be shifting dramatically in the next fifteen years because the baby boomers will be retiring and dying. This means there will be an increase in younger workers in the workforce. Traditionally in the workforce diversity is underrepresented. With the decline in labor source, companies will begin to look for younger and immigrant workers to fill this gap. "Diversity will beome an essential asset." Therefore, companies need to prepare for changes that are inclusive in valuing diversity. One of the solutions they talk about in the video is Mentoring to prospective employees about job skills and duties, something we have discussed before in class and in our chapter readings.
Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_3NcwShT6Y
I hope you enjoy it and let me know your thoughts!
