Our Focus for 2023
Career Pathways
Our formalized employee development strategy will include practical and attainable educational and training action items to support career advancement that are aligned with the technical and academic skills of our industry. By identifying the core competencies required for all employees at every level of seniority, as well as function-specific competencies, we will have a fair and measured framework for assessing growth and development within the context of each individual’s role.
Connected Communications
Open and consistent communication is one of the main cornerstones of employee engagement. This is an area of opportunity to improve our existing communication practices and develop a bespoke strategy for our firm, including an employee newsletter that celebrates employee achievements and anniversaries while also promoting themes of allyship and wellness.
Improving Workplace Equality
We plan on addressing the shortcomings we discovered from our self-evaluation by appointing a Chief Diversity Officer-equivalent and an Oversight Committee that can be a force for change over the coming years as we incorporate regular policy reviews, enhance our DEI data infrastructure, and assess oversight of DEI initiatives.

Our Innovation Teams in Action
Becoming Great Place To Work Certified – In the 2023 fiscal year, we will partake in the Great Place to Work (“GPTW”) survey as we pursue the GPTW Certification. This process will be overseen by our GPTW Innovation Team. Over the coming years, we aim to incorporate the feedback we receive from the certification process and add to our feedback mechanisms that help further develop the Elevate Program and inform how we develop employee-facing policies. Fueling Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – In 2023, our ESG Innovation Team will be launching scholarships and an internship program under the RPIA ACE Program banner. More information is provided under the RPIA ACE Program section of this report.
