Our human capital is the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of our culture, reputation, and achievement.

We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences in age, colour, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics that make our employees unique.

Bila Counselling and Support Services is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a diversity, equity, and inclusion culture. Diversity initiatives are applicable—but not limited—to our practices and policies on recruitment and selection; compensation and benefits; professional development and training; promotions; transfers; social and recreational programs; layoffs; terminations; and the ongoing development of a work environment built on the premise of gender and diversity equity that encourages and enforces:

- Respectful communication and cooperation between all employees. -Teamwork and employee participation, permitting the representation of all groups and employee perspectives. - Work/life balance through flexible work schedules to accommodate employees’ varying needs. - Employer and employee contributions to the communities we serve to promote a greater understanding and respect for diversity. - All employees of Bila Community Group are committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. They are responsible for treating others with dignity and respect at all times. - All employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, at work functions on or off the work site, and all other company- sponsored and participative events.

All employees must also attend and complete annual diversity awareness training to enhance their knowledge to fulfil this responsibility. Any employee exhibiting inappropriate conduct or behaviour against others may be subject to disciplinary action.

Employees who believe they have been subjected to discrimination that conflicts with the company’s diversity policy and initiatives should seek assistance from a supervisor or an HR representative.
