Methodology
F
irst published in 2008, Canada’s
Best Diversity Employers is an
editorial competition organized by
the Canada’s Top 100 Employers
project. This special designation
recognizes the employers that have
exceptional workplace diversity and
inclusiveness programs.
Organizations are evaluated by editors
of Canada’s Top 100 Employers based
on programs and initiatives for five
groups: women; racialized people;
persons with disabilities; Indigenous
peoples; and lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) peoples. Additional
dimensions of diversity are also
considered, such as neurodiversity, new
Canadians, and gender identity and
expression.
Specific areas of review include
recruitment, retention, training,
education and awareness, and
leadership accountability. The editors
also review whether the organization
has specific measures in place to track
progress to achieving its goals.
Any employer that has its head office
or principal place of business in Canada
may apply for this competition through
the Canada’s Top 100 Employers
application process. Organizations
of any size may participate, whether
private or public sector. Employers
complete a single application for the
national, regional, and special-interest
competitions, including Canada’s Best
Diversity Employers.
Detailed reasons for selection,
explaining why each of the winners
was chosen, are published on the
competition’s homepage:
