Building communities with inclusion and respect
Jan Fontana, GHD’s People Leader for Canada, says that the company’s focus on inclusion and diversity informs everything from hiring practices to committee appointments, as well as the establishment of employee resource groups to support diverse and often marginalized populations.
“The employee resource groups give our LGBTQ+, Hispanic, Asian, Black, neurodiverse, Indigenous and women employees opportunities to get together and network,” she says. “Everyone is invited, allies are welcome to come and talk about what’s going on in the world, and there’s strong support from our leaders.”
