KEY STEPS

Transforming Organization Culture

Implement a standardized framework for conducting land and territorial acknowledgements with input from Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations.

Review the different land acknowledgements used by BC Housing. Create a protocol for acknowledging Indigenous lands and territories in meaningful ways, allowing flexibility to adapt acknowledgements to local Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations. Complete a review of recruitment practices and policies with a diversity lens. Eliminate bias in recruitment practices and policies. Hire an external expert as needed to complete a neutral perspective to the review. Identify all policies that should be part of a review. Mandate Human Resources to review these policies. Recruit external expert identified above, as needed, to provide guidance on this policy review.

Review staff and board identity factors for recruitment and retention (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, age, economic standing) to achieve diversity.

Review BC Housing policies to establish a zero tolerance for discriminatory behaviours.
