OTTAWA – CBC/Radio-Canada unveiled a new three-year plan this week that it says sets out its strategy to reflect the full range of Canadian perspectives through its content, workplace culture and workforce.
The 2018-21 Diversity and Inclusion Plan provides workforce results for all of the ‘pubcaster’s main business units, details action plans by major services, and lays out the objectives for the coming years.
The plan says that having a diverse workforce is only the beginning, and that its workplace culture must be truly inclusive, where everyone feels that his/her voice, views and ideas are valued.
"We want to make sure all Canadians are heard on our airwaves; that they—and their children—see themselves reflected on their public broadcaster," said CBC/Radio-Canada's president and CEO Catherine Tait, in the news release. "This plan sets clear objectives and a roadmap to get there. It builds on the work we've been doing to make our content, our workforce and our services better reflect all Canadians."
