• Thales Canada embeds diversity and inclusion into talent review and succession planning, requiring managers and senior leaders to identify key diversity and new generation talent and ensure that each has a sponsor, and develops specialized development plans -- the company also sets aside an annual budget specifically for rectifying gender pay gaps and recognizing experience through promotion
