Race and ethnicity

Diversity, equity and inclusion programs have been widely adopted by Canadian businesses, and employers are under heightened scrutiny to ensure they are meeting their legal obligations and commitments. This three-part series will examine common pitfalls to avoid in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, and ways that employers can mitigate legal risks.
