Mary Ann Yule worries about the long-term economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women. “Many working women struggled to balance the responsibilities that came with assuming dual roles,” says the President and CEO of HP Canada. “They are 12 times more likely to step away from their jobs to take care of their family.”The risk, she points out, is that many women's career trajectories will be hindered or knocked off course. She cites a recent study that concludes global GDP could be one trillion dollars lower by 2030 if action isn't taken to mitigate pandemic-related job losses for women.In a wide-ranging conversation with Goldy Hyder on the Speaking of Business podcast, Yule discusses solutions to ensure all employees are engaged and supported – including through mentorship and hybrid work options.And she offers her own lessons in leadership. “There is a privilege that comes with leadership – and an obligation. We need to pay it forward by helping young leaders and blazing the trail for future generations.” Listen to the full conversation – including how and why HP Canada is investing in the circular economy – on the Speaking of Business podcast.

Pressure from investors and customers is driving the sustainability agenda forward for several companies, on the surface at least. In practice, only a dire few are making the necessary strides in sustainability, with most engaged in 'green washing'. The inability to recognize the financial value in embracing sustainability is preventing businesses from taking action. In this session, we're joined by Frances Edmonds, the Head of Sustainable Impact of Canada's most sustainable tech company, HP, to discuss why sustainability is an environmental and business imperative and how HP Canada's relentless pursuit for it is paying off.   About the Speaker Frances Edmonds has dedicated over 21 years to HP Canada. As the Head of Sustainable Impact, she is responsible for setting the sustainability strategy, implementing it, and driving business value. Her passion for sustainability and the circular economy, coupled with her relentless drive in furthering this agenda, has been instrumental to HP's success, with HP Canada now recognized as Canada's most sustainable technology company.

With the onset of the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns in place, many aspects of the business world changed and entrepreneurs are still feeling the impact of that change. It is no surprise that this unprecedented situation has created havoc for the business owners and because of the lack of proper technology and resources, the challenges have only heightened. To match the evolving needs of business owners, HP solutions is trying to overcome the technological barriers with modernization and innovation. Mary Ann Yule, the President, and CEO of HP Canada Co. is one of the key figures leading this change. She brings 20 years of extensive experience as a leader in the technology industry on the table and is credited with establishing HP amongst the most sustainable technology company in Canada as well as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers. In this episode of the CanadianSME podcast, we have Mary Ann Yule herself, here to discuss the challenges that the business world is facing right now and how HP Canada is trying to play an irreplaceable part in helping bring about a transformation. Yule also shares her thoughts on the role of digital technology in today's age in comparison to a few years ago. Additionally, Yule believes in a diverse and inclusive work culture, which she tries to bring about in her organization as well. We also try to understand if she found it difficult to juggle all of the different technological strategies and platforms in order to better promote her business and reach a broader audience.

Our hosts Leor and Dan are joined by the Head of Sustainable Impact for HP Canada, Frances Edmonds to talk about the circular economy and the importance of procurement as a tool to reach sustainability goals in Canada.

Today I’m joined by one of Canada’s top sustainability professionals. In her role as Head of Sustainable Impact at HP Canada, Frances Edmonds is responsible for driving business from sustainability leadership and, focusing on Canada’s sustainable procurement practices, she’s working to change how Canada buys.

Today we’ll be talking about her long-standing career, her passion for sustainability, why it’s so important – and the changes we can all start making in our businesses right now. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [08.11] Frances’s background, and her journey to sustainability. [09.42] Frances’s role at HP, and her responsibilities both internally and externally. “We realised that not many businesses are going to try and become a leader in sustainability because there’s no recognition for that in the marketplace – we’re in a capitalist system.” [12.21] From external recognition to thinking big, the key sustainability strategies and goals at HP. “In Canada, we have less than 20 companies who have set a science based target for carbon reduction, in the decade of climate action.” [14.06] Practical ways businesses can begin their own sustainability journeys. “The fastest way to green your business is to buy from one that’s already green.” [16.27] HP’s commitment to a circular economy and a services vs goods approach; how these strategies help extend the shelf life of technology; and how consumers are responding.

For this episode of The Comms Shift, I’m delighted to introduce, straight from Canada, a country which I was lucky enough to call home for 10 years, the one and only, Priya Bates. Priya Bates is probably one of the most qualified professional communicators you will ever meet. If you look her up on LinkedIn, she goes by Priya Bates, ABC, MC, SCMP, IABC Fellow. Let’s break those down. Priya is an Accredited Business Communicator (that’s ABC) and one of the first Certified Strategic Communication Management Professionals in the world (that’s SCMP). In 2010, she received the Master Communicator designation (that’s MC), which is the highest honour you can possibly have as a communication professional from IABC Canada by the way. As if that wasn’t enough, about 4 years ago, Priya was recognized as an IABC Fellow, a global lifetime achievement award for her contribution to the profession. She’s been doing this for 20+ years. She’s led communication for organizations including Loblaw Companies Limited, HP Canada, Compaq Canada, and The Ontario Nurses Association. These days, she’s the President and Owner of Inner Strength Communication where she works with organizations across a variety of sectors who are looking to build strategic internal communication expertise that drives business results. In this episode, Priya and I dissect her 5 I’s framework for evolving internal comms into strategic thinking: - What are the 5 I’s and how can you apply them at your work? - How IC professionals can take a strategic vision of the tactical work they’re given - Priya’s approach for understanding internal audiences at large corporations with a dispersed workforce - How to combine relationships with knowledge of the organization to influence decisions - The Yogurt story - A practical example of measurement in internal comms Whether you’re new to internal comms or a seasoned veteran, I think you’ll enjoy this conversation.

Host Sherrilynne Starkie volunteers as Professional Development Director, IABC Canada East Region and invited Priya Bates to attend a recent meeting to discuss member engagement and engagement strategies generally.  Priya is an award-winning professional communicator and president of Inner Strength Communication.

In this edition of The Voice, we listen in on Priya's presentation where she explains her engagement process right from strategy development to evaluation. She said: “Most people look at engagement as a program. I look at it as a system. Most look at is as tactical. But if we start with the tactics…we often miss the bigger picture. Communication is operational as opposed to philosophical. I like to make it very clear. Really define what it is we are trying to do?” Listen Now! Join the conversation!
