Black Canadians report high levels of racism despite workplace improvements

A survey by KPMG in Canada reveals that Canadian companies are making uneven progress in creating inclusive and equitable workplaces for Black workers. Over 80% of respondents acknowledge employers' efforts, but a similar proportion reported experiencing racism or microaggressions in the past year.
The survey also highlights gender disparities, with women receiving less support than men. Only 68% of women reported having an allyship training program compared to 81% of men. Women also felt less able to bring their authentic selves to work.
Concerns arise that as the economy slows, the progress made in workplace inclusion may be lost. Efforts to counter this include looking beyond a last-in first-out approach, setting targets, and holding senior leadership accountable.
