Our commitment to inclusivity helps us attract and retain qualified talent and fosters innovation by bringing the best solutions to the table.
CN's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring together employees who share a common identity, experiences, and interests. Our ERGs create a culture of inclusion by providing open forums and safe spaces for employees to meet, advise on opportunities, reach out to communities, and be their authentic selves.
ERG Spotlight: The A.D.A.P.T (Allies of DiverseABILITY Partnering Together) ERG seeks to become a network and resource that supports all employees with diverse abilities by fostering general awareness of various visible and non-visible abilities, while promoting recruitment and retention of employees with diverse abilities. By breaking down barriers, we aim to create a culture that celebrates inclusion.
