Employer Best Practices

Employers are responsible for safety and for protecting employees’ physical and mental health in the workplace. Creating a work environment that supports an inclusive and a healthy workplace is essential to successfully recruit and retain internationally trained workers.

Cultural competency training equips managers and employees with the awareness, knowledge, and skills they need to overcome cultural challenges in the workplace. You can learn more about culture competency training here.

• Create a welcoming environment in the organization.
• Pair newcomers with existing staff members to help with their integration.
• Connect newly arrived workers with people and community supports that will help them and their families settle. Visit the list of settlement agencies in New Brunswick.

Protect Yourselves and Your Candidates from Fraud

You can learn more about how to find and choose a representative here. In addition, if you receive immigration documents via email, they could also be fraudulent since Immigration New Brunswick only issues documentation through your INB profile.
