Workplace experience

 

 

We build strong teams through transparent, thoughtful and data-informed approaches to talent and leadership. By fostering trust, accountability and collaboration, we strengthen our culture, our company performance and the long-term value we create for employees, advisors, clients and communities across Canada.

 

IGM’s ongoing efforts to champion inclusion are recognized and celebrated, making us one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers.

Measuring what matters
 


When evaluating individuals for Board and executive management roles, we consider factors including business experience, geography, age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. Our Standard applies to everyone who works for or contracts with our companies, outlining expected standards of conduct and the process to raise concerns.

Chief Executive Officer’s (CEOs) and their direct reports have specific diversity and inclusion objectives. These objectives focus on creating access to opportunities for underrepresented employees, with annual milestones set to achieve our goals.

This accountability extends throughout the organization. All people leaders with direct reports have an inclusion objective as part of their annual performance targets.
 

  

 

 

Voluntary self-identification: Count me in!

Our self-identification program, the Count me in! initiative, helps direct our inclusion strategies, resources and programs to ensure we meet the needs of all employees and advisors. It also helps us identify and address barriers to opportunity and respond to increasing demand for data from external stakeholders and industry regulators.

To date, IGM’s Count me in! program has achieved an 89% response rate.*
 

 

Business resource groups

We support six employee-led business resource groups (BRGs) that align with our inclusion strategy and business priorities. These groups focus on career development, mentoring, and networking opportunities, and identifying business impact for equity-deserving communities and allies.
