As a key part of our work, Futurecity commits to creating a diverse and inclusive working environment, promoting equity, and addressing under-representation.
We recruit talent based on capability and performance — regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion or physical ability. In doing so, we want every employee, associate and client to recognise a shared commitment to a culture supporting open collaboration and communication. Each of us contributes to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace—we all have a role to play.
Futurecity commits to use its voice and platforms such as cultural strategies, cultural partnerships, thought leadership, social media, website, mailers to encourage participation of a range of people, backgrounds and ideas to address socio-economic challenges.
We create measurable actions to commit to diversity and inclusion through our policies, employee handbook, job descriptions, performance reviews and by ongoing third-party facilitation. This is a constant process for full-team engagement to continually challenge our commitment and work practices.
We believe inclusive culture inspires us to try new things, speak openly, and be bold. It brings us together in ways that help us stand out which empowers all of us to connect, learn, adapt and grow.
DEFINITIONS
Diversity: The representation of different and unique identities, characteristics, experiences and perspectives.
Inclusion: A welcoming culture in which differences are celebrated and everyone is valued, respected, and able to reach their full potential.
Equity: In tandem with celebrating and valuing differences, a commitment to ensure everyone is offered the resources they uniquely need to succeed and to breaking down barriers where they may appear. Inclusion is enabled by equity.
