At eCubicle, a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all employees and volunteers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education or disability, feel valued and respected. We are committed to a non-discriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for employment and advancement in all of our departments, programs, and worksites. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard. 

​

We’re committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire arts industry of the nonprofit sector, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all.

​

To provide informed, authentic leadership for cultural equity, we strive to: 

​

• See diversity, inclusion, and equity as connected to our mission and critical to ensuring the well-being of our staff and the arts communities we serve. 

• Acknowledge and dismantle any inequities within our policies, systems, programs, and services, and continually update and report organization progress. 

• Explore potential underlying, unquestioned assumptions that interfere with inclusiveness. 

• Advocate for and support board-level thinking about how systemic inequities impact our organization’s work, and how best to address that in a way that is consistent with our mission.

• Help to challenge assumptions about what it takes to be a strong leader at our organization, and who is well-positioned to provide leadership.

• Practice and encourage transparent communication in all interactions.

• Commit time and resources to expand more diverse leadership within our board, staff, committee, and advisory bodies.

• Lead with respect and tolerance. We expect all employees to embrace this notion and to express it in workplace interactions and through everyday practices.
   

To help promote diversity and inclusion in our workplace, we: 

​

• Pursue cultural competency throughout our organization by creating substantive learning opportunities and formal, transparent policies.

• Generate and aggregate quantitative and qualitative research related to equity
  to make incremental, measurable progress toward the visibility of our diversity, inclusion, and equity efforts. Once the content is curated it will be added to our website so others can access it.

• Improve our cultural leadership pipeline by creating and supporting programs and policies that foster leadership that reflects the diversity of Canadian society. 

• Develop a system for being more intentional and conscious of bias during the hiring, promoting, or evaluating process. Train our hiring team on equitable practices.

• Include a salary range with all public job descriptions.
