Our Why
Many companies have equity, diversity, and inclusion as organizational values. They recognize that diversity and inclusion give them a competitive advantage. The need to fill the diversity gaps is huge, but their limited access to diverse pools of talent presents a challenge.
According to the 2016 census, more than 1 in 5 Canadians (about 7.7 million people) are visible minorities and 1.7 million are Indigenous. Our Canadian workforce is diverse, so why then are corporate boards and executive positions not diverse?
Black, Indigenous and other visible minority women, in particular, are grossly underrepresented. We are here to help bridge this gap.
