Bringing LGBTQ+ employees and allies together from across our global businesses, Pride raises awareness and understanding of the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ communities, driving inclusion at all levels of our organization. Through Pride, you can develop personally and professionally with access to peer support, recruitment opportunities, mentoring, coaching and community engagement.
Your needs aren’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer a modern and flexible benefits program. From access to mental health services and expanded coverage for psychological benefits, to enhanced family leave entitlements for both newborn and newly adopted children, our benefits aim to support you and your family.
Training & Education in Diversity
At RBC, our goal is for everyone to speak up for inclusion. To make that a reality, we provide a wide breadth of training and education focused on driving awareness and understanding of LGBTQ+ communities. By truly listening to and learning from our people, we're better positioned to support you.
How we create positive change for our clients and communities.
Our efforts extend beyond our employees. Today, we support over 75 LGBTQ+ community partners, are present at over 40 Pride Parades around the world and sponsor over 13 Queer film festivals across Canada.
We’re an active member of national LGBTQ+ professional organizations and chambers including PRIDE at Work Canada and the Canadian LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce (CGLCC).
And we’re strengthening the diversity of our own supply chain. With supplier diversity embedded throughout our procurement processes, we’re able to use our purchasing power to connect LGBTQ+-owned businesses to new opportunities.
Read more about how we’re enabling economic inclusion for diverse suppliers in our 2021 Diversity & Inclusion Report.
