PEOPLE AND CULTURE

YEAR IN REVIEW

CULTURE CHANGE

Since 2015, we have been deliberately shifting our workplace culture to drive better business performance through high-quality conversations, a focus on strengths and more productive relationships.

LABOUR RELATIONS

Negotiations between the Corporation and the Syndicat des communications de Radio-Canada (SCRC - CSN) continue. The agreement will be the first for the newly merged union, which represents nearly 3,000 CBC/Radio-Canada employees in the province of Quebec and in Moncton.

ENGAGEMENT

We hosted values workshops across the country to engage our people in conversations about our corporate values of integrity, relevance, creativity and inclusiveness and how to bring them to life every day. We also partnered with the Canadian Media Guild (CMG) to extend our strength-based performance management program to all its members. For the second straight year, our employee engagement survey saw meaningful year-over-year increases on all results, as well as record high participation, team-based conversations and action planning.

LEADERSHIP

We piloted a new leadership program with senior executives to develop a more creative, outcome-focused leadership stance as a way of transforming our leadership culture. CBC also launched a second cohort of the Diverse Emerging Leaders program, a program designed to specifically address the needs and support the development of talented visible minorities, Indigenous people and people with disabilities.
