Bromgold Workplace Diversity -

Like Coffee & Cream - The Perfect Blend of HR and ESL

Most diversity consultants have either an HR background, or come from the ESL world (English as a Second Language). Shelley and Lynda realized the value of pooling their knowledge to give clients the best of both worlds.

Bromgold Workplace Diversity offers cross-cultural assessments, consulting and training workshops to help employees and employers leverage Canada's diverse talent.
