Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
We believe the unique contributions of each of our colleagues are key in our ability to drive innovation. We are proud to support a culture of inclusion and encourage a work environment that respects diverse opinions, values individual skills and celebrates the experiences each of us bring to our workplace.
"Our community and workplace is filled with so many diverse talents and backgrounds that we can draw from to add a wealth of knowledge and experience into everything we do."
-Joel Houde, Vice-President and General Manager
We believe that diversity, inclusion, and accessibility are essential for building a strong and healthy workplace. We are committed to promoting a workplace where all colleagues are treated with dignity and respect, and where everyone has equal access to opportunities. We continue to work to improve representation of diverse talent at all levels to reflect the communities in which we operate.
We promote inclusion through our Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs) which are organized around shared interests, including: LGBTQ+, Women, Armed Forces, Early Career, Multi-cultural, and Disability Advocacy. The intent of the CRGs are to foster a sense of belonging, inspire meaningful conversation, encourage new ways to look at issues, and drive change in how we, as a collective, show up in these communities.
We believe gender equality, diversity and empowerment are paramount to creating an inclusive community for all. We recognize the challenges of creating a truly equal workplace and are committed to promoting and advancing the careers of women in the defence sector.
