The rapid growth of Alberta's economy has caused an unprecedented demand for labour. Firms across the province
are struggling to hire and maintain productive staffing levels. The result has been an unprecedented influx of
foreign labour into the Alberta market at a speed far beyond what any western Canadian city has had to oversee.
This rapid "de-homogenization" of the Alberta labour force has drastically altered the workplace environment,
presenting new challenges to HR professionals.
