This DQ is not necessarily tied in with a specific chapter. It draws on the knowledge that you have acquired up until this point in the course, and in your pursuit of Human Resources education and training. It also encourages you to use your reasoning and critical thinking skills.

We celebrate Canada Day on July 1 every year. As a country, we embrace values such as diversity and inclusion. Share your thoughts about one issue within recruitment that is a barrier to hiring practices, and poses a challenge for the advancement of diversity and inclusion within employment and society. (We now have a deeper understanding that practices and policies which promote diversity and inclusion make organizations stronger and add to their success.)

You can share about your own experience, or a family member, friend, neighbors experience, etc. You can also speak of something you came across in the news or learned about on Social Media. You can also note an issue outside of Canada, in another country or region, if that is where you witnessed or personally had the experience with that barrier or concern. You can speak of marginalized groups or communities as well, which face barriers when it comes to being hired or seeking employment.

Also, note one way that the issue or challenge, which you have mentioned, can be resolved.

Thus, highlight one challenge or barrier within hiring and recruitment practices that you have come across or identified, and then present one possible solution to eliminate that barrier, or improve the situation.

One to two paragraphs should be adequate. Word limit: No more than 300 words.

I look forward to seeing an interesting discussion emerge.

please put citations as well and elaborate on indigenous hiring and barriers in the recruitment process for them and how to improve them.
