EDI Discussion Series ~ Diversity and Leadership: Numbers aren't enough

Video Conference

Creating a diverse, inclusive and equitable public sector—where all employees feel represented, respected, and supported—is necessary to support the needs of Canada’s changing demographics. This EDI Discussion Series explores how governments can actively work to support marginalized communities and break down system barriers.

EDI Discussion Series ~ Diversity and Leadership: Numbers aren't enough

Why does diversity and inclusion matter in leadership? How is the public sector performing in terms of diversity representation? What competencies do leaders need? How can inclusive leaders cultivate a positive organizational culture and add value?
