November 7: 2018 Agents of Change — Champions Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion

EHRC

Sept 10, 2018

Taking place on November 7 in Calgary, Alberta, this Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC) event will bring together men and women working in the electricity industry who share a common commitment to creating equitable and inclusive workplaces.

The number of women working in the sector is still far below where it needs to be. If we’re going to see real change and quickly, says EHRC, both men and women need to stand up and get behind the cause to champion this change.

During the event Influential male champions will speak to personal/work experiences and what has led them to challenge the status quo. Hear from women in the workplace who will share their perspectives on career challenges and opportunities. Learn from companies who are implementing measurable actions to transform their organizations, and the compelling business case for doing so.

A series of panel sessions will address these topics:

• Views from the Top
• Agents of Change — Male Industry Champions Talk
• Developing a Gender Champion Model

Also in the program:

• Make the Case – How Gender Diversity Affects the Bottom Line
• Leadership Accord — A Case Study
• WiRE Speed Mentoring Workshop/Knowledge Café
