Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace
Creating a diverse and inclusive company to fully meet the expectations of Canadians begins with our people. We believe we must reflect the communities we serve. We must ensure our employees feel valued and supported for who they are, so that everyone has the chance to excel.
To learn about some of our diversity and inclusion initiatives and some of the events our employee resource groups have hosted, read our 2021 Public Accountability Statement.
Engaging employees in the community
Volunteering is an opportunity to spark change in the world by giving a little of your time and energy. It’s a great way to build skills and make lasting connections while having fun and finding purpose. We encourage employees to connect with their communities and get involved with causes that are important to them.
Due to lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our workplace fundraising drives and campaigns looked different – but we adapted. From participating in drive-thru events, to donating through online campaigns and fundraisers, our people supported their communities in meaningful ways.
We’re proud to recognize our employees’ efforts by providing financial support to the charities they care about to help increase the impact of their collective efforts. We recognize their leadership, commitment, and contributions as caring members of communities across Canada.
