Black Talent Inclusion

Our Commitment to Black Communities

At RBC, Diversity and Inclusion is a core value and we are committed to making our workplaces, culture and communities both inclusive and welcoming for all.
Our Action Plan against systemic racism address the inequity and systemic bias that have disadvantaged Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) and are focused on three key pillars: Enabling Economic Growth and Wealth Creation, Investing for the Future and Redefining Inclusive Leadership.

At RBC, we acknowledge wide-spread systemic racism has disproportionately disadvantaged Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) for far too long, significantly impeding the ability of those communities to compete equally in opportunities for economic and social advancement. Our Purpose of helping clients thrive and communities prosper is core to who we are as an organization, and can only be achieved when everyone has an equitable opportunity to achieve their fullest potential.

What mentorship opportunities have been availed to you to succeed in your career?

Over my 22 years at RBC, I’ve been fortunate to have a few executives take enough interest in me and my career to offer (and set-up) coaching discussions and make themselves available to me as I required. These conversations provided me insight into different pathways to success and how to fill gaps in my development as I progresses into senior leadership roles.

What has been your highlight working at RBC as a Black professional?

I am still in awe at the amount of support; mentorship; and sponsorship; that I have been receiving from leaders at the Bank, across racial lines. The support I get as a Black professional is overwhelming with an honest display of intent to see me succeed through actions that stimulate my development both professionally and personally.
