Activating Workplace Allies:

A Multiphase Interdisciplinary Study on Recruitment and Retention of Women in Saskatchewan Engineering and Mining

 

Study Overview

Women and other equity-deserving groups continue to be under-represented in many professions and industries in Canada. Using a participatory research approach between industry and academic researchers, this multi-phase International Minerals Innovation Institute (IMII) and Mitacs-funded study focuses on how to transform and implement experiences and best practices into solutions to advance equity in the Saskatchewan mining industry. This four year study involves three key data collection phases and will be conducted in cooperation with mining industry partners. This multi-phase study will put recommendations into action to shift Saskatchewan mining workplace culture to be inclusive and welcoming of all actual and potential employees.

The study will be in Phase 2 from April - December 2021.

The study is currently in Phase 4.
