The Creative Equity Roadmap is intended to serve Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDDI) work across the motion picture industry in B.C. It is:
a starting point, an invitation for collaboration and a contribution to the many important public materials being generated;
focused on supporting industry - the creative businesses, organizations and companies, recognizing that employers, labour organizations and industry associations have a particularly important role to play in changing systems;
intended as a practical approach, offering a high level framework for understanding the steps required as an organization for advancing the principles of Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion;
offers a shared language and method centering on Commitments and People Practices by which B.C.'s motion picture industry may collectively consider and advance the principles of Justice, Equity, Decolonization, Diversity and Inclusion;
seeks to amplify the growing network of resources available in B.C. and Canada to support our collective work in this evolving field.
The modern workplace is more progressive, with HR leaders making strides in fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion.
But one area where there is still a lot of work to be done is in the inclusion of neurodivergent employees.
Diversity and inclusion are not just about gender and race. While improvements have been made in empowering employees from all walks of life, workplace programs towards gender diversity are the most common, with other groups receiving less focus.
