A recent poll of Black employees in Canada KPMG has revealed a landscape that is improving slowly in supporting racialized workers, but still has a long way to go.
The poll by KPMG surveyed 1,000 Canadians who are employed and self-identify as Black.
Eighty-three percent of respondents said their employer has “made progress on their promises to be more equitable and inclusive for Black employees over the last year”, and 82% said that since the murder of George Floyd Jr. and the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, they have seen their company make “significant progress” in creating more equitable and inclusive workplaces.
