A report is now available on the Status of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) in Canada\u2019s Life Sciences Sector.<\/a>\u00a0<\/h5>

In addition to being the right thing to do, integrating IDEA in life sciences organizations is a powerful way to help this Canadian sector lead by increasing creativity, improving performance and strengthening employee engagement. While many life sciences organizations are embedding IDEA, no one knew what was being done to advance IDEA across the sector or how to drive meaningful change. Shift Health and Life Sciences Ontario led a study, funded by Pfizer and adMare BioInnovations, to help fill those gaps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A national survey of life sciences organizations and focus groups with diverse individuals in the sector were conducted. Dr. Mahadeo Sukhai of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB)\u2014the speaker at CASE\u2019s upcoming AGM\u2014contributed to this report by sharing best practices in inclusive survey design and facilitating focus groups.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cThis report is a call to action\u2014and the time to act is now. Canada\u2019s life sciences ecosystem will flourish if we empower our single greatest competitive advantage: the creativity, ingenuity and lived experience of our people.

\n\u201cIDEA is not a box to tick. It\u2019s not a nice-to-have. It\u2019s an imperative. It\u2019s a human rights imperative. It\u2019s a business imperative. And it\u2019s an imperative of leadership.\u201d \t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
