Chorus Aviation Inc. is honoured to announce that its subsidiary, Jazz Aviation LP, has been named one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for the ninth consecutive year by MediaCorp Canada Inc.
“At Jazz, we encourage work environments that build on the diverse perspectives, experiences and abilities of our employees,” said Randolph deGooyer, president, Jazz. “We are proud to be recognized for the ninth year in a row for our dedication to diversity and inclusion.”
Canada’s Best Diversity Employers recognizes the nation’s top employers who have exceptional workplace diversity and inclusiveness programs. The competition recognizes successful diversity initiatives in a variety of areas, including programs for employees from five groups: women; members of visible minorities; persons with disabilities; Indigenous peoples; and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered/transsexual (LGBT) people.
MediaCorp Canada Inc. recognized Jazz due to the many initiatives the airline has developed and supported, including the “Gender Transition in the Workplace” policy and guide for managers who are supporting an employee through a gender transition. Another example is the Jazz Aviation Pathway Award for Professionalism and Diversity; over $30,000 available to be awarded annually via scholarships to full-time aviation students in their final year who have self-identified as Indigenous, a person with a disability, a visible minority or a woman for outstanding contributions to safety, leadership and professionalism.
