We believe everyone plays a role in building a more inclusive workplace. So, we’re committed to inspiring our teams to demonstrate inclusive behaviours and actions every day.
In 2020, we took many actions to inform, inspire and build a more inclusive workplace:
- Conducting interactive training programs addressing behaviour and accountability
- Hosting Inclusion Circles focused on active listening, education and supporting our communities
- Hosting Diversity and Inclusion spotlight learning sessions to help employees understand emotional tax, systemic racism and the impact of bias
- Launching an annual Diversity & Inclusion event providing an opportunity for employees to learn about each other and celebrate, honour and promote diversity
- Running national ‘Reframing History’ events in partnership with Indigenous elders to provide insights and historical context on current challenges facing the Indigenous community
- Celebrating Orange Shirt day to honour the Indigenous children who were sent away to residential schools in Canada and experienced cruelty and abuse
- Conducting workshops to help employees understand and adopt concrete actions on intersectional allyship
