AN INCLUSIVE TEAM MEMBER EXPERIENCE
We embed inclusive practices into how we attract, retain, develop, and engage top talent, including:
• Reach expanded candidate pools through collaboration with diverse talent sourcing partners, including Edmonton Region Immigrant Employment Council, Bredin Centre, Onyx Initiative, Our Children’s Medicine, Rupertsland Institute, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Disability Solutions, Level IT Up, Inclusion Alberta, and BC Partners in Workforce Innovation. • Leverage technology to create inclusive job postings and remove bias to increase the candidate pool. • Provide training for all hiring leaders on inclusive and equitable hiring practices as part of our Recruiting Teal Talent learning program. • Leverage our ERGs to increase awareness and learning across the organization. In 2023, our ERGs hosted events, published blogs and podcasts, and collaborated with each other to foster thought-provoking conversations on a variety of topics. • Partner with the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion to provide our team members with access to resources that support learning on inclusion, diversity and belonging through live webinars, community practice events, knowledge repositories and toolkits. • Offer on-demand training modules and courses focused on diversity and inclusion. • Highlight inclusion and diversity training opportunities through our learning library provided by LinkedIn learning. • Ensure our annual leadership conference includes inclusion and diversity learning components in the agenda. • Integrate inclusion and diversity into our performance management cycle with an organization-wide objective focused on increasing the awareness and effectiveness of our inclusion and diversity strategy. • Offer a mentorship program for all ERG members to support career progression. • Incorporate a diversity lens as part of the talent succession process, including sponsorship, mentorship, and development planning. • Have an established practice of personalized and meaningful land acknowledgements at all organization-wide meetings and events. • Offer flexibility for time-off to recognize culturally significant holidays.
