Creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment takes time and effort and doesn't just happen overnight. ECE has taken several initiatives to achieve our goal of creating a workplace characterized by diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). LAMU and LSU (union representatives, occupational health and safety representatives and management representatives) have been trained and educated in DEI, but also in handling offensive and inappropriate behavior. All employees have also been trained.
Our success depends on us collectively being aware of behavior or actions that are not in line with what ECE wants. We all have a responsibility to:
Our focus is not on pointing fingers. Rather, we want to learn together. That is why we would greatly appreciate your help if you see or experience inappropriate or transgressive behavior. It will help us see patterns of challenges, both small and large. And it will help us take action and create a more inclusive work environment.
You can always contact your manager, union representative or health and safety representative for a confidential conversation.
