We imagine a workplace that represents our global community – with many different people and cultures, where diverse ideas can thrive. Only once we have created an equitable and inclusive environment can we realize diversity worthy of true celebration. In the meantime, we strive to celebrate the individual experiences and identities that bring a broad range of perspective to Bell’s — creating exceptional experiences for both our employees and the communities we touch.
Our work in equity and inclusion involves action that inspires the engagement and empowerment of a diverse workforce and community. This is an ongoing process, and we commit to that work. Every day.
This means we work to create an environment where everyone feels welcome as their full, authentic selves. This includes our Celebration Series – brews we create throughout the year by committee of members from underrepresented groups and their allies.
Equal is not equitable. To ensure equity, we have to examine whose voices are the loudest and then address the system to amplify those who are underrepresented and unheard. For example, continuing to evaluate ways we provide opportunities to access development across our various business areas and teams OR creating a diverse coworkers champions council to inform and influence business and leadership decisions.
