DIVERSITY: Inclusiveness and diversity make good business sense, says Ernst & Young
        (AlbertaIndex, May 15, Thursday) --- A talent crunch is squeezing the Canadian workforce, and only businesses that attract, retain, develop and promote the best people will win. Ensuring our workplaces are truly inclusive environments where everyone is given the chance to achieve their potential is crucial to corporate success.
        Jeannine Pereira, Ernst & Young’s inclusiveness leader for Canada, recently spoke on how Ernst & Young has built an award-winning strategy to move from having a diverse workforce to promoting an inclusive corporate culture.

Last week, she participated in several roundtables and presentations with businesses in Western Canada to share best practices and highlight the importance of measuring a company’s inclusiveness results.

“An inclusiveness strategy isn’t enough. Measurement ensures accountability and turns strategy into action,” said Ernst & Young.

Ms Pereira recently received the company’s prestigious Rosemarie Meschi ‘Rising Leader’ Award for men and women in the organization who are committed to the advancement of women at Ernst & Young.

Its focus on inclusiveness has earned it numerous awards, including Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2008, Best Employers for New Canadians for 2008, Best Workplaces in Canada 2008, GTA’s Top 50 Employers 2008, and Calgary’s Best Places to Work For 2007.

People will decide to grow their careers only when they feel respected, accepted, challenged and are given the flexibility they need to meet their goals - both professionally and personally.

Ernst & Young is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services.
