Strength in diversity
The Inspire Network
Since 2014, The Inspire Network has been a vital part of how we approach inclusive culture at Save-On-Foods. We believe our workforce should represent our customers, our team members and our communities in all areas of our company. Through Inspire, we aim to:
- Build a strong company through a culture where everyone is equally valued and respected.
- Support our leadership pipeline by fostering equality, diversity of thought, gender, skill, culture, experience and age.
- Encourage and support those who want to make a difference and drive change.
- Empower those who want to take ownership of their careers and have the courage and desire to take on a leadership role.
We believe that when this is done right, it will help us be a company that reflects the wants and needs of our very diverse customer base — and make us a fantastic place to work.
Over the past five years, The Inspire Network has worked to bring awareness to gender equality through consistent efforts in the company. A working committee now meets on a regular basis to develop content, strategies and plan events and workshops — with regional reps that help bring these efforts to our many regions.
This has led to a lot of great support for initiatives.
- We have facilitated annual leadership development workshops on the importance of diversity, unconscious bias and why male engagement is critically important to the network.
- We give back to our communities by supporting Dress for Success — whose mission is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support.
- We’re thrilled that Save-On-Foods women have been recognized every year since inception as STAR WOMEN in Grocery by Canadian Grocer — which recognizes the remarkable achievements of women working in the grocery industry.
