Indigenous Reconciliation in DEI

Reconciliation is foundational piece of inclusion and workplace  belonging - certainly in Canada.  It's also something that you should  have heard, particularly with what has come to light with recent  Residential School findings.  So what is Reconciliation and what does it  mean for individuals and organizations?    These are some of the questions I asked Gillian Hynes who works with an  indigenous-owned, national management consulting company, Rise  Consulting.  We started by talking about land acknowledgements and she  explains the importance of them in Reconciliation.      As she points out and as identified by the Truth and Reconciliation  Commission, organizations also play a role in Reconciliation as does HR.   Each of us and our organizations need to 'do something'.
