Transforming Organization Culture
Build upon the review of recruitment practices and policies (see Phase 1 recommendations) to update strategies and hiring practices to align with an equitable and racism- free workplace. Support staff and board members with a list of current resources related to Indigenous peoples and housing such as reports (e.g., UNDRIP , Truth and Reconciliation’s Calls to Action, Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls ), podcasts, documentaries, and film and provide space to enable discussions on how this information is essential to making progress on decolonizing organizational practices including BC Housing’s operations, programs and approaches to building and sustaining positive relationships.
Compile information on all hiring practices, policies and strategies. Review any identified recruitment and hiring goals. Identify training to help BC Housing achieve their hiring and recruitment goals and objectives. Identify a lead staff member in BC Housing to be responsible for creating and updating this resource list. Create accountability for utilizing this list for staff learning and education within staff performance plans (including a section on planned resource learning and how staff used this learning). Ensure there is a process for gathering emerging and new resources in collaboration with Indigenous Nations, communities, and organizations.
Note: * Any recommendations that are outside of BC Housing’s direct jurisdiction or authority and will require that BC Housing coordinate their efforts with provincial and federal governing bodies, or other ministries, agencies, and organizations.
