Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC) launches new resources to lead organizations in retaining diverse talent in Canada’s electricity sector.
Electricity Human Resources Canada (EHRC) is launching a national project aimed at addressing systemic barriers in the recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and retention of women in Canada’s electricity sector. Developed in collaboration with the Department of Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE), this initiative underscores EHRC’s commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the industry.
“The WAGE project seeks to dismantle barriers that hinder women’s access to the economic opportunities, prosperity, and security offered by the electricity industry,” says Michelle Branigan, CEO of EHRC. “By equipping industry leaders, human resources professionals, and operations specialists with enhanced tools and resources, this project will drive tangible and systemic changes in the recruitment, onboarding, and retention of women within the sector.”
