“The globalized nature of the auto industry requires a diverse workforce that welcomes everyone, which is why we are proud to support Accelerate Auto’s vision with Georgian College’s help to champion students with inclusive values as future leaders,” said Maria Soklis, President, Cox Automotive Canada & Brazil. “Diversity and inclusiveness are not only pillars at Cox Automotive Canada, but shape our business success by attracting and keeping the best talent. We are committed to promoting equal opportunity in the automotive sector.”
Cox Automotive has built a bit of momentum in supporting positive change in the automotive industry, with employee resource groups like the Black Employee Network (BEN) and Women With Drive (WWD). The company says that efforts like these have helped it gain recognition as one of Greater Toronto’s top employers.
