Recognized as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers (2025):
By Kristina Leung, Chantel Watkins, and Cypress Weston, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors (Feb 24, 2025)
Here are some of the reasons why Corus Entertainment Inc. was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers (2025):
- Corus assesses its executive leadership team on their active support of the implementation of the company's DEI action plan and functional team engagement with DEI initiatives -- a portion of their annual incentive plan calculation is based on people and culture measures
- Corus fosters belonging and community through employee resource groups -- examples include BOLD (Black Organization for Leadership and Development), which focuses on providing professional development opportunities to help Black-identifying employees succeed, and All Access, a group working to advance accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities
- Corus created "Corus.Futures" to support students from underrepresented communities as industry creators and leaders -- two scholarships were launched in radio and broadcast television, which includes a financial contribution, a paid internship and career mentorship and there are plans to expand the number and variety of scholarships in the coming years
