As we reflect on Truth and Reconciliation Day, Basil Onyia, CPHR, SHRM-SCP, MBA-HR, our Senior People and Culture Specialist, acknowledges that "The day itself is really a catalyst for an ongoing conversation." Company-wide collective learning is an integral part of this dialogue. In our September session Mahum Azeem and Mariana Bretado led us through the complex history of Indigenous cultures in Canada and the US. Mahum, Lead Software Developer, underscored that "Real truth and reconciliation begins with the truth.” Read the full Benefits Canada article to learn more how we are addressing our responsibility as a business, an employer and a member of the community. https://lnkd.in/grQ2d5fM

Redbrickers across People & Culture, Finance, Marketing and Creative and Product attended the Toast Summit last week. The space at Platform Calgary was bursting with curious minds eager to listen to stories, reflect on tangible research and inspire solutions. Christine Tatham, our Chief People Officer, discussed how to stay ready in a fast-paced industry with a harrowing stat – nearly 50% of women leave the tech field by age 35. Thank you to Roselle M. Gonsalves, PhD from ATB Financial and Shanlee von Vegesack, JD, CFA from Fasken for facilitating, and to Clarabelle Freeborn from ATB Financial and Joanna Wynn from Helcim for diving deep. Each conversation across panels and fireside chats brought together thoughtful leaders who are passionate about addressing the big problems. This is how a conference should feel – welcoming, engaging, and full of actionable takeaways. We have gained so much from our relationship with Toast and look forward to supporting April Hicke and Marissa McNeelands as they forge onward! #emergingtech #futureoftech #womenintech #purpose #purposedriven #techforgood
