OUR DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION JOURNEY
At RPIA, we are dedicated to fostering and promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) in our workplace as we believe including diverse perspectives is essential for making high- quality business decisions. We celebrate and welcome our employees, stakeholders, and external personnel to support our mission to cultivate diversity, equity and inclusion across our organization. We are thrilled that Dannielle Ullrich, Principal, Chief Financial and Operating Officer serves as RPIA’s DEI Lead. We recognize that DEI efforts extend beyond gender alone and encompasses a wide spectrum of identities, experiences, and abilities. Our DEI-focused policy defines our commitment to fostering an atmosphere of dignity, respect, and safety for our employees, stakeholders, and external personnel. This policy challenges us to be a leader in adopting established industry best practices in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion, and to take a consultative, thoughtful, and impactful approach to evolving our DEI policy and practices over time.
Measuring Representation
Women in the Workplace
RPIA is committed to ensuring its hiring practices can evolve and adapt to the growing demands of its business and position the firm to prioritize and take advantage of the increasingly diverse pool of talent. As a voluntary signatory to the 30% Club, and member of the Canada Chapter, RPIA is aligned with the organization’s aims, and seeks to achieve beyond 30% representation of all women in the firm’s decision- making bodies. We believe our effort to align with the 30% Club not only strengthens the representation of women within our leadership, but also fosters a more inclusive culture, promotes diverse perspectives, and enables inclusive decision-making. This effort cultivates a supportive environment that benefits all employees. “We seek to ensure there is balanced representation in key decision-making discussions regarding the strategic direction of the firm.” - Dannielle Ullrich, DEI Lead
