ESOMAR Congress 2022 Review: Intimidated by Innovation? It’s not that complicated!

Innovation had always seemed daunting for Janice Saji, a research assistant at Humber’s Office of Research & Innovation, and innovators—elite beings belonging to a special species handpicked by a greater power in the universe. 

The thought of people creating complex devices, like going from using candles to being illuminated by light bulbs, from writing letters to video calling their loved ones using smartphones, and from using libraries to creating computers that let people store it all seemed nothing short of witchcraft or a special sort of genius to her.  

But her thoughts about innovation took a 180-degree turn after attending this year’s ESOMAR Congress in our beautiful city of Toronto. It taught her that a driving catalyst for innovation is quite simple and understated. It begins with listening and observing people and their needs. She walked into ESOMAR dreading the thought of innovation and analysis and walked out of it realizing how human these topics are. Because at the end of the day, there will always be endless possibilities to make life easier.

Note to Employees Regarding the Ontario Education Worker Situation
View in full page
When:
November 2, 2022

We are aware that the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the union representing Ontario school board workers, has announced that their members will not be at work on Friday, November 4. As of November 2, various School Boards, including Toronto District, Toronto Catholic District, Durham Catholic, Peel District School Board, York Region District, York Region Catholic District have announced that they would close schools to in-person learning IF a withdrawal of services occurs on Friday. Some Boards have not yet announced final plans. 

As each board’s plans may be different, please check with your local school board to find out what their plans are and how you and your family may be affected. It is not yet known if any action will be taken, and whether it will be ongoing. We will continue to provide updates, as appropriate. 

While Humber classes and operations will continue as scheduled, we understand that employees and students with school-aged children may need to explore childcare options and adjust their regular routines.

For staff whose ability to complete their regular workday either in-person or remotely is affected because of a school closure or interruption, please speak to your manager. Faculty members should contact their associate dean.

We know that an interruption to the regular school schedule may be challenging as people make alternative childcare arrangements. Please reach out to your manager/associate dean should you require alternative arrangements for completing your work. 

As is the case with missing any class, we will be informing students that they need to contact their professor and are responsible for speaking with them if they need to request alternative arrangements for completing coursework.
