WORKPLACE INCLUSION
CHARTER
A practical roadmap for creating more inclusive, equitable, and accessible workplaces
The Workplace Inclusion Charter (WIC) is a voluntary employer recognition program that supports organizations in creating more inclusive, equitable, and accessible workplaces through practical actions, evidence-informed resources, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Developed through collaboration with employers, community organizations, and subject matter experts across New Brunswick's Capital Region, the Charter reflects local priorities while drawing on national research, promising practices, and lessons learned from a growing network of Workplace Inclusion Charters across Canada.
The Capital Region Workplace Inclusion Charter is launching as a pilot program, allowing participating organizations to help shape and strengthen the Charter as it evolves. Feedback gathered throughout the pilot will inform future enhancements and support the continued growth of the program.
Continuous improvement, not perfection.
The Workplace Inclusion Charter recognizes that every organization's inclusion journey is different. Rather than expecting organizations to have every policy and practice in place from the start, the Charter encourages employers to build on existing strengths, take meaningful action, and make ongoing progress over time.
