Chosen as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2013:
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors   (Feb 18, 2013)

Some of the reasons why Hewlett-Packard Canada Co. was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2013:
  • created a "Diversity Value Chain" to outline the company's diversity goals and achievements and established a Global Diversity Champion position in 2008, responsible for leading the organization's diversity advisory board
  • the company also manages the "Global Ability Leadership Council", to provide support to persons with disabilities or impairment -- the council meets on a monthly basis and organizes seminars and programs on a variety of topics including disability, age related challenges and coping with special needs, to name a few
  • maintains support for minority and female-owned businesses through a supplier diversity program that includes partnerships with groups such as the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council and WEConnect
  • hired a designated recruiter to focus on targeted recruitment initiatives and retention of diverse candidates
  • manages over 100 employee resource groups worldwide -- Canadian resource groups include networks for employees who are women, pan-Asian, younger workers, LGBT and are currently developing a group for Black employees
  • each group is chaired by an executive sponsor who provides members with support, professional guidance and advice
"The relationships and skills developed by joining an employee resource group at HP has enhanced both my career and personal life. Employee Resource Groups (ERG), such as Women on the Way Up (WoW), provide a unique environment where peers and management work together, support each other and promote career development. Through the guidance and support of senior management, I was confident and comfortable to take on the opportunity of becoming co-chair for WoW. Through this experience, I recognize the benefits of being involved in our workplace, outside of one's current role. The networking, leadership and organizational skills learned from being involved has created opportunities and career paths that I would never have come across on my own."
— Ashley H., Employee
