Workforce Integration for Lasting Results
RISE — Respect, Inclusion, Support, Empowerment — is Amal Unite & Empower’s employer-facing workforce integration initiative. We help Newfoundland and Labrador employers build workplaces where newcomer talent can contribute, grow, and remain — strengthening organizational stability, reducing turnover, and supporting long-term business performance. Our guidance is grounded in direct employer engagement, real- time labour market insight, and the lived and professional expertise of our team. We deliver practical support that fits how organizations actually operate.
Effective workforce integration leads to
● Stronger employee retention
● Smoother and faster time-to-productivity
● Better workplace communication across teams
● Higher employee engagement and morale
● More stable teams with lower turnover costs
● Long-term organizational performance that compounds over time
When your employees succeed, your organization succeeds.
RISE works with employers ready to invest in the conditions that make newcomer hiring sustainable — not just at onboarding, but throughout the employment relationship.
Our work is locally grounded. We understand the NL labour market, the specific integration challenges in this province, and what makes employer and newcomer working relationships succeed here.
