Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility

Creating an inclusive employee culture where all individuals feel valued and able to contribute to their full potential is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s a basic requirement. And it’s one of the keys to unlocking the talent in your workforce.

That’s where we come in.

Over our 20+ years working in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA), we’ve seen IDEA efforts evolve from the earliest top-down corporate anti-discrimination policies to the latest fully integrated, high energy IDEA programs that engage and energize people at all levels of the organization.

This is where things really start to click – and we think it’s where you want to be.

Inez is welcoming and accepting of all and supports individuals and organizations as they work to be more inclusive themselves. Inez sees the big picture and can assess the needs of those she is working with and for. She is easy going and authentic, a pleasure to work with. We are so fortunate to have her in the EDI space!”

Trevor Lynn, Senior Manager Communications, Alberta Innovates

Inez is an empathic and compassionate leader and leads a company working to make the world a better place. Inclusive Concepts delivers strategic and tactical opportunities, policies, programs, actions and workshops to ensure your workplace is more inclusive, equitable and diverse. They deliver energetically, passionately and with kindness and respect. Inez and Narissa are absolute pleasures to work with and I look forward to every opportunity to work together and collaborate in the future.

Meredith MacKay, Entrepreneur

Inez is a passionate and skilled Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) professional. I first met her at external functions when I was learning the I&D space. I was immediately impressed with her knowledge and experience. I learned a lot from her; she was one of my “go-to” people when I had questions or was looking for advice. We have recently worked more closely and her creative, innovative approach and dedication to driving the organization’s I&D strategy forward is second to none. Husky’s reputation and progress in this space is due in no small part to Inez. As I return to the I&D space, I will use much of what I learned from Inez and continue to consider her a trusted advisor. I highly recommend Inez to any organization looking to build or accelerate their I&D strategy.

Kerri Rudnicki, Director of Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging at Finning International
