The report found 90 per cent of the 1,001 Black Canadians surveyed in December and January said their employers made progress on efforts to be more equitable and inclusive for Black employees in 2022.
The KPMG study found 73 per cent of respondents believe anti-Black racism efforts and broader diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives will be"put on the back burner" by their employer during an economic downturn. But after the death of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis killed in police custody during the COVID-19 pandemic, sparked global fury over systemic racism, there has been added pressure for companies to better diversify their organizations and rectify issues Black employees face as they seek employment and promotions.
“While it’s encouraging to see Canadian organizations have continued to make progress on addressing anti-Black racism over the past year, it’s imperative to keep building on that momentum, even in the face of economic headwinds, labour market fluctuations and inflationary pressures,” said Elio Luongo, chief executive and senior partner of KPMG in Canada, in a news release.
