Diversity Equity & Inclusion

Why focus on DEI?

Creating a diverse and inclusive work culture leads to diversity of ideas and perspectives and improved team collaboration. It leads to employees feeling valued and improves engagement, and talent retention. According to a study conducted by Great Place To Work, when employees trust that they, and their colleagues, will be treated fairly, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation or age, they are:

9.8 times more likely to look forward to going to work
6.3 times more likely to have pride in their work
5.4 times more likely to want to stay a long time at their company

While building a diverse organization is a recruitment mandate, the building of an equitable and inclusive workplace requires creating shifts in mindsets and behaviours, and creating opportunities for growth for all.
