Best Employers Award for 50 Plus Canadians™ (BEA) competition was created by the Workplace Institute to recognize and reward organizations for innovative and effective programs or initiatives that lead the way to best practices for 50-plus workers while achieving organizational goals.

In the past ten years, the workforce has changed dramatically. More than ever, a workplace is a diverse collection of individuals proud of who they are: their gender, their sexual orientation, their religion, their ethnic background, and all the other components that make an individual unique.

The challenge becomes: how can we make these diverse individuals work as a team? We all know what happens to organizations that don't have effective teamwork: they fail. Failing to embracing diversity can also have serious legal costs for corporations.
