By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors  ( Feb 21, 2011)

Some of the reasons why Agrium Inc. was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2011:
  • established an Inclusive Workplace Council in 2009 and holds monthly meetings to discuss the status of diversity programs and policy
  • maintains a unique in-house "Women's Leadership Group", which provides female employees with mentoring and networking opportunities and events, including workshops and special luncheons with the non-profit foundation, "Women in Leadership"
  • based on the success of the Women's Leadership Group, the company recently formalized its commitment to diversity with the development of a diversity and inclusion strategy
  • employees at the head office have access to an onsite quiet room to accommodate their religious and spiritual needs
"I accepted a position in Kapuskasing (which is 900km north from where I was formerly living in Hamilton). The community is majority French speaking, however, my co-workers have made me feel welcome and at-home by inviting me to take part in community activities, including me in off-site events, as well as taking the extra effort to speak English or translate for me."
