Major study will consider barriers to diversity in Canadian financial services sector – Wealth Professional
Nov 06, 2024
How Canada’s financial services sector can better support the entry and progression of underrepresented groups is the focus of a major new study over the coming years.
VersaFi is spearheading the three-year research project thanks to funding from the Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE), through the Women’s Economic and Leadership Opportunities Fund (WELOF).
It will look at the challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, People of Colour (BIPOC), women and gender-diverse professionals in the Canadian finance sector and both review existing diversity initiatives and provide practical evidence-based strategies to drive meaningful and lasting change.
