Today is World Mental Health Day, a reminder of the importance of prioritizing our mental well-being. We here at Snapchat 🇨🇦 have partnered with Kids Help Phone to ensure Snapchatters across Canada take, at the very least, a moment to check in with themselves and those around them. In any given year, 1 in 5 Canadians experiences a mental illness. By the time Canadians reach 40 years of age, 1 in 2 have – or have had – a mental illness (via CAMH) Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Together, we can break the stigma. Mental health matters. https://lnkd.in/gTE6YGAf #WorldMentalHealthDay #Snapchat Snap Inc. | Snap for Business

Leadership Accountability: Only 21% of Canadian Tech Companies hold leaders accountable for DEI What message does that send? The Peak released an article today that Tech Companies are putting DEI on the backburner. In a world where technology shapes our every interaction, it’s disheartening to witness the retreat of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the tech industry. We’ve called for more women in tech, more diversity in our engineering teams. But actions speak louder than words, and these cutbacks scream indifference. Is this really the message we want to send? P.S. To the leaders and changemakers on LinkedIn: How will you respond to this ‘go for bronze’ culture? Are we content with mediocrity in diversity? Link to the Peak Article in Comments:

What’s giving me an extra spring in my step? Mentoring with Google for Startups. Over the past few months, I’ve met with startups across North America to coach and advise on solving their business problems. Their ability to identify a consumer need, and bring a solution to market, quickly, has been inspiring. What have I taken away? Build. Network. Learn. Pivot. Test. Repeat. Stay hungry. If you are a #canadian startup and are interested to learn more, keep an eye out for the next cohort.

The Institute for Canadian Citizenship / Institut pour la citoyenneté canadienne (ICC) "Talent to win" report is gold for any employer looking to improve their bottom line (who isn't?) while also building an incredible workplace culture. At Moving2Canada we are 87% first-generation immigrant, with the balance made up of second-generation immigrants. Our diversity helps us win. Canadian employers should lean into the pipeline of talent sitting on their doorstep, not because it's nice (though it is!) but because it will help them win too. Top class work from George Carothers, the rest of the ICC team, and Deloitte.
