Diversity

"Diversity enriches individual experiences.  We learn best from those whose experiences and beliefs are different from our own and these lessons can be taught best when working closely with people from diverse backgrounds."  — Michelle Amyotte Kupusa, Sr. HR Consultant, ISC

Why does ISC care about diversity?

We believe that an organization who understands and values diversity is more productive, able to attract and retain the best talent and is able provide an improved quality of service to its customers. Diversity is about the realization that everyone at ISC is different and that we respect those individual differences.  This helps us to provide a better customer experience, push innovation and build a better place to work!

Celebrating, Implementing and Measuring Diversity

At ISC, we established a Diversity and Equity Working Group consisting of employees from diverse backgrounds, and from different areas within the company. This employee led group implements diversity related initiatives and events throughout the company to celebrate diversity and equity. The working group also supports ISC’s partnership with Albert Community School and contributes to ISC’s formal equity partnership agreement with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.

An Employer of Choice through Diversity

We offer challenging work opportunities at a variety of levels with competitive wages and benefits. We strive to provide a workplace which promotes fair and equitable treatment of all our employees.
  • Recognizing differences in the skill sets, the perceptions and the ideas that each employee possesses will only strengthen an employee’s development and our success. By acknowledging individual differences, employees are able to create an open environment where challenging the norm is promoted, fresh ideas are welcome and the skill sets of all employees can be utilized to their full potential, both individually and in a team setting
  • Recognizing differences between each community we do business in and knowing that each customer is unique strengthens our business. These differences challenge us to be consumer-driven and offer a variety of products and services that are user-friendly to all of our consumers no matter what their background
  • Recognizing differences among employees also benefits our ability to remain competitive. With a broad spectrum of gender, culture, age and special needs, ISC’s workforce reflects our long-standing commitment to diversity. Our corporation is strengthened by our ability to access a larger talent pool from the labour market and to attract, recruit and retain Rising Stars from all demographic backgrounds

We also encourage all applicants to self-declare themselves as a member of a visible minority group, a person with Aboriginal ancestry, a person with a disability, or as a woman in an under-represented role.
