How Teck is Creating a More Equitable and Inclusive Company
In this episode Bart is joined by Jackie Scales, Director of Inclusion and Diversity at Teck Resources. Jackie talks about the historic barriers to inclusion that have been common in the mining industry, what the impact of those barriers have been, and how different cultural norms across geographies can pose additional challenges to organizations seeking to create more equitable workplaces. She talks about the very real and valid perspectives that people may have that lead them to doubt EDI initiatives, and then outlines what Teck is doing to bring people along the journey. Her story is a powerful look at how champions of inclusion cannot afford to demonize or push back but must instead work hard to understand, respect and care for all stakeholders who must be part of the solution.
