You have demonstrated commitment to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace, with experience developing and implementing DEI strategies that promote a culture of belonging and proven ability to lead initiatives that enhance diversity, address systemic inequities, and create opportunities for all employees to thrive. You have direct experience overseeing the labour relations function including developing labour strategies and bargaining plans, influencing positive relations with bargaining agents for unionized employees, and chairing collective bargaining teams. You also have experience overseeing thorough and respectful investigation processes of internal workplace complaints and/or allegations of misconduct; along with direct experience managing sensitive issues. You have experience in and bias for evidence-based decision-making; analytics; research and performance measurement. You are comfortable working in a digital environment; you take responsibility for acquiring knowledge about advancing technology; and you are committed to using technology to create an exceptional employee experience.
