An Effective Partnership Model

The business case for Aboriginal inclusion is as personal as your business plan. There are typically one or more reasons why your organization will benefit through Aboriginal inclusion.

Examples for the business case for inclusion include:

• Skills shortage (growth/expansion, retiring baby-boomers)
• Skilled workforce (Canada’s Aboriginal population is growing six times faster than the non-Aboriginal population)
• Expand your market (consumer growth in the Aboriginal community)
• Corporate social opportunity (economic and social inclusion)
• Business partnership opportunities (green energy and working near/on Aboriginal land)
• Diversity (a healthy, productive and competitive workplace)
• Social license to operate (increase market reach)
• Harmonious community and business relationship building (business partnerships and corporate social responsibility)
