NCG values diversity and fosters an inclusive work environment in the following ways:

• We have employee resource groups that connect employees with shared backgrounds and interests to build community, enhance career development, and advocate for change. These include groups for women, LGBTQ employees, veterans, and cultural associations.
• Our hiring practices are designed to reduce bias and increase diversity. We have inclusive job descriptions, diverse interview panels, and candidate slates.
• We provide unconscious bias, diversity awareness, and inclusion training to all employees. This covers managing bias, appreciating differences, and creating belonging.
• Leadership competencies at NCG include demonstrating inclusive behaviours and commitment to diversity. Leaders are expected to model these.
• We celebrate diversity through events like International Women's Day, Black History Month, Pride Month, and Multicultural Day.
• Diversity metrics are tracked and reviewed by our senior leaders and HR regularly. Managers are held accountable for improving team diversity.
• We have flexible work arrangements to support employees from all backgrounds and life stages.
• Our facilities and policies are designed to accommodate employees of different abilities.
• We foster open dialogues on diversity issues and listen to employee perspectives through surveys and our D&I Council.
