By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors   (Feb 18, 2013)

Some of the reasons why Ernst & Young LLP was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2013:
  • recently appointed a Chief Inclusiveness Officer as well as a Leader of Inclusiveness responsible for the management and development of diversity and inclusion programs and policies
  • the Chief Inclusiveness Officer traveled to visit offices across the country to speak to employees directly about the meaning of diversity and human equity
  • manages a "Career Watch" program to support the professional development and career progression of high performance women and visible minorities -- also manages an inclusiveness leadership program to prepare high potential women, visible minorities and LGBT partners for leadership roles
  • maintains an AccessAbilities Committee to raise awareness of workplace issues that affect persons with disabilities and recently signed the "Business Taskforce on Accessible Technology Charter" to formalize the firm's commitment to ensure all technology systems are accessible for persons with disabilities
  • has maintained an ethnic diversity task force for nearly a decade, which is comprised of employees from across the nation -- the group contributes to the development of diversity policies and programs, and addresses specific issues of ethnic diversity in relation to a Canadian context
  • manages several unique "reverse-mentoring" initiatives including the "Coaching our Leaders" program, which pairs partners with mentors who are members of a visible minority, or female employees
  • supports WEConnect Canada, a non-profit organization that supports the efforts of women-owned enterprises in accessing corporate supply chains
"As leader of Ernst & Young's Professional Women's Network, I've always felt strong support for the program from our top leadership. My involvement in the program has also helped me to build my profile both internally and externally, and connect with other organizations in the community and across the country working to the same end. It's inspiring to be part of something like that."
— Carrie M., Senior Manager, Assurance Services
"As part of Ernst Young's Career Watch program, I was matched with a mentor - a leader in the firm - who has provided me with different perspectives about how to make the most of flexible work arrangements and career development opportunities. My mentor has really given me the insight and practical knowledge about how to best grow with the firm. It's a great thing to feel like my potential was identified, and that I have the support I need to reach that potential."
— Josiane P., Chef d'équipe / Manager, Services consultatifs transactionnels / Transaction Advisory Services
