Chosen as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2012:
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors  ( Feb 20, 2012)

Some of the reasons why Stikeman Elliott LLP was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2012:
  • manages an in-house diversity committee that is comprised of partners and associates and created a diversity road map with quarterly goals in areas of recruitment, mentorship, leadership, community outreach and the development of an inclusive environment
  • the road map is reviewed by the committee on a quarterly basis and recently scheduled an annual diversity progress report with partners and board members
  • the committee also recently met with the Aboriginal Human Resource Council to discuss job placement opportunities for Aboriginal applicants
  • is active in the LGBT community and participates in the "Out on Bay St." initiative as well as other related events
  • provides mandatory diversity training for people managers as well as a variety of optional training workshops that cover topics such as cross-cultural communication
  • also manages a formal religious accommodation policy to support employees from all walks of life
"We have a strong mentorship program, successful role models and a work environment that encourages women to strive for excellence and success. The firm has put in place initiatives to address concerns and challenges more typically faced by women in order to retain them. This is especially important since such a high proportion of our new associates are female."
— Andrea C., Associate
