Gender diversity assessment

Royal Roads University is committed to fostering an environment where our employees, students, and the broader community experience a true sense of belonging.

In the Spring of 2023, the Associate Director of Human Rights and EDI, and Manager EDI in Research commissioned a comprehensive assessment of our organizational culture, systems, spaces, and procedures using gender diversity-inclusive lenses. 

We are deeply grateful to TransFocus Consulting, a Vancouver-based firm with extensive experience in fostering gender diversity inclusion in organizational cultures and structures, for their invaluable work in conducting this evaluation and presenting the summary to our community.

This audit has been of immense value to RRU, providing us with a powerful tool to shape our future. It has given us a baseline to review the inclusiveness of our culture, systems, spaces, and procedures regarding gender diversity and to define adequate courses of action to foster change. Armed with this knowledge, we are optimistic about building a workplace, learning environment, and visitor experience that acknowledges, embraces, and supports the diverse gender identities of our community members and broader society.
