Bright + Early launches charitable fund to support diverse, inclusive workplaces
Bright + Early has launched a new fund that will contribute to charities supporting underrepresented individuals in the Canadian tech workforce.
The Better Workplaces Fund, as it is called, will specifically focus on supporting women, people of colour, especially Black and Indigenous people, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and refugees in the workforce. The fund will focus specifically on tech workers, where possible.
Bright + Early is committing a percentage of its sales to the new initiative, funded by its human resources (HR) and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consulting work. The company has a goal of raising $20,000 this year.
