Celebrating and supporting our differences.
Some of our best ideas emerge when different perspectives collide. That’s just one of the reasons we’re committed to building and retaining a team that reflects diverse backgrounds, identities, experiences and abilities. Through our core values, we’re also fostering a culture where everyone feels heard, included and comfortable being themselves. As we strive to be better, we continue to learn and hold ourselves accountable to create an environment where everyone can flourish together.
Context Creative is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
We do not discriminate on the basis of actual or perceived race, creed, colour, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, age, disability, sex, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, arrest record, genetic information or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, provincial or local laws.
Some of the ways that we incorporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion into our culture include:
- Equal opportunity hiring, regardless of ability, age, background, gender, religion or sexual orientation.
- Accessibility training for all new employees.
- Internal accessibility taskforce to build knowledge of best practices and processes.
- Tools and guides to enable staff with unique challenges and abilities (e.g., guidelines for those with colour-vision deficiencies).
- Confidential, open-door approach for staff to raise concerns or issues.
- Peer-to-peer recognition program to celebrate those upholding core values.
- “Buddy system” to help new employees transition in a safe and supportive manner.
- Accommodations for different work preferences (e.g., standing desks, remote collaboration tools, etc.).
- Equal representation across leadership positions (not to mention an all-female development team).
- Guidelines developed for “conscientious communication.” (e.g., terms to avoid, definitions, etc.)
