Workplace Inclusion Charter being crafted for Red Deer employers
A new Red Deer Workplace Inclusion Charter is being drawn up to help local employers ensure they aren’t unduly excluding anyone from working for them or receiving proper training.
On Saturday, the latest in a series of community conversations to help guide the charter took place at Central Alberta Refugee Effort (CARE).
The project, a collaboration of the Red Deer Local Immigration Partnership (RDLIP), CARE, The City of Red Deer, the Welcoming and Inclusive Communities Network, and Alberta Global Talent, is funded by United Way Central Alberta.
It focuses on six key areas, including newcomers to Canada, LGBTQ2S+ people, seniors, persons with mental health concerns, persons with disabilities, and Indigenous persons.
