MONTREAL, Feb. 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Air Canada was once again named one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2025. It is the seventh time in 10 years Air Canada has received this recognition.
"We are very proud to be recognized again for our longstanding workplace diversity. As a global company connecting Canada to over 55 countries across the six inhabited continents, we have long subscribed to the importance of reflecting the best of Canada to our employees, customers and stakeholders," said Arielle Meloul-Wechsler, Executive Vice President, Chief Human Resources Officer and Public Affairs at Air Canada.
Air Canada continues to foster representation through numerous partnerships, its many employee-based initiatives to support workplace inclusion and belonging, and its successful outreach directly to diverse communities when recruiting:
- Connecting with underrepresented communities to share aviation career opportunities.
- Partnerships with Canadian organizations and specialty colleges to provide scholarship opportunities for underrepresented communities studying to be pilots and aircraft mechanics.
- Establishing a robust internal governance structure that supports inclusion and belonging through all levels of the organization.
- Celebrating the diversity of our workforce through Employee Resource Groups and Champions for inclusion.
Canada's Best Diversity Employers competition recognizes the nations' leaders in creating inclusive workplaces for employees from five underrepresented groups: women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, and people who self-identify within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Employers are selected by the editors at Mediacorp based on submissions to the annual Canada's Top 100 Employers project.
