Conestoga College, the University of Waterloo, and the University of Windsor have collaborated to create a new online resource that aims to help Canadian organizations build stronger connections with Indigenous employees. The “Building Trust with Indigenous Employees: the Indigenous Workways Toolkit” provides six self-guided training modules that offer insights into the worldviews and workplace experiences of Indigenous peoples. It also includes three manuals with information about how to support cultural safety for Indigenous employees, develop mentorship networks, and guide organizational outreach. It was developed over six years; all corresponding research was conducted with guidance from Indigenous Elders, an advisory council, and a team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars.
