Diversity
Vancity values diversity in its workforce – we are committed to ensuring equitable access to employment opportunities to all members of our community, ages 18 years or older. Our goal is to attract, retain and leverage the talent of a diverse workforce that truly represents the communities in which we work and live. Our vision is one of an inclusive workplace, where the contributions of all employees are valued, recognized and rewarded.
Vancity has been selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2008, by the editorial team for the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. This award recognizes the nation's leaders in workplace diversity and inclusiveness initiatives among several employee groups.
We have a solid base to build from in terms of our employee diversity but realize the potential if we are intentional and have clear goals and objectives that are tied to our business plan. In 2008, we will develop a diversity strategy that aligns to our commitment to community leadership as a core differentiator and to bringing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship alive across the organization. Diversity, in it's broadest sense, fosters innovation. We see this as an opportunity for us to link the way we do business and who we are with the social change we want to drive.
Achievements like this don't come overnight. But with hard work, commitment and passion, meaningful change can happen. At Vancity, we value diversity and seek to realize it from the branches to Head Office.
