What does it mean to foster a culture of diversity, inclusion
and belonging in the workplace, and how do we ensure that theory
translates into practice? BLG explored this vital conversation in
Perspectives on Inclusion, a seminar that united top
clients and legal peers to share personal experiences, best
practices and forward-thinking results.
Entrepreneur and transformative leadership expert Zahra
Al-Harazi's provocative keynote address, entitled Different
Is Good, set the stage for an interactive panel discussion
moderated by Tamara Tomomitsu, Chair of BLG's
Diversity and Inclusion Council. The panel featured
insights from Michelle Henry, Partner in BLG's
Labour & Employment Group; Colin Druhan, Executive
Director at Pride at Work Canada; Shawn L. Graham, Deputy General
Counsel, Retail Banking & Wealth Management at HSBC Bank
Canada; and Caroline Jimdar, Senior Director — Business Risk
& Governance — Cards, Payments & Banking at Royal
Bank of Canada.
