According to a study done by Jennifer Jagire titled "Immigrant Women and Workplace in Canada: Organizing Agents for Social Change", Immigrant women in Canada are marginalized in the workplace, overworked, discriminated against, and pushed to the periphery through exclusions and exploitation. However, regardless of these hostile structures and environments, immigrant women have learned some coping strategies that see them organizing in resisting workplace injustices of exclusions, discrimination, and marginalization to overcome their predicament.
The term “Immigrant women,” in this context, refers to women born outside Canada and not from Western Europe.
Despite these challenges immigrant women face, there are role models like Iris Tam who are paving the way for other immigrant women and showing that it is possible to find your voice and grow your career to a senior leadership level.
In this week's episode, I chat with Iris Tam, Partner, Commercial Real Estate at Fasken.
Iris shared what started her interest in a career in law, strategies she used to climb the corporate ladder in Canada as a woman and visible minority, and much more.
Listen, enjoy, and share.
