Leading companies across Canada are not only acknowledging the critical importance of fostering diverse and inclusive environments but actively implementing strategies to embed these values into their corporate DNA — leading to gains in innovation, employee engagement and organizational resilience.

Top DEI employers are distinguished by an unwavering commitment to creating workplaces where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their best. These organizations are rolling out initiatives such as robust employee resource groups (ERGs), inclusive hiring practices, and continuous education initiatives that challenge biases and promote a culture of belonging.
