What It Means To Be A Workplace Inclusion Champion
Case Study: The Rimrock Resort Hotel, Banff
The Rimrock Resort Hotel in Banff signed the Workplace Inclusion Charter in 2017-18.
Their diverse team reaped the benefits as a Gold Level Champion workplace.
The Rimrock’s Karli Fleury (Director of Human Resources, CPHR, PCP) shares her experience of being a signatory to the Workplace Inclusion Charter and the benefits for her organization.
