Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

RESOURCES

On behalf of the board, I would like to present to you the BC Craft Brewers Guild Anti-Harassment, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Code of Conduct and Members Handbook.
These two documents were developed in tandem, supporting members to meet or exceed the following objectives in terms of our collective DEI responsibilities.

  1. To create safety within the industry.
  2. To create an inclusive industry.
  3. To provide guidance on creating safe spaces within their own brewery.
  4. To highlight the importance of eradicating bullying and harassment.

#NOT ME 

We have partnered with #NotMe to provide the most comprehensive reporting tool for the industry at special members-only pricing. #NotMe is the easiest reporting platform to use and the fastest to implement.

  1. HR Advisory Services – we have HR consultants located in the six tourism regions of the province. They are based in Vancouver, Kelowna, Williams Lake, Nanaimo, Invermere, and Prince George. They can support your members with all things related to HR, including recruitment/retention, onboarding, HR audit, interpreting employment regulations, etc.
  2. Mental Health & Wellness – This is definitely an area that has been of particular concern, especially post the pandemic. We offer a 3-level training program, a resource hub, and two workplace learning coaches who can help employers identify and implement programs to address mental health in their businesses. All this is through our partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association (BC Division).
  3. Safer Spaces – Creating workplaces that are respectful and free from harassment (including sexual harassment) is critical to maintaining the attractiveness of our industry to job seekers. The Safer Spaces initiative offers two training programs targeting employers (launched last year) and workers (scheduled for launch in Spring this year). We also offer other related resources to help employers implement policies and procedures in the workplace. Our HR and health & safety consultants can also help employers implement these.
  4. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion – Creating workplaces that are reflective of the society at large is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes business sense. We have created an EDI framework to help employers create more inclusive workplaces, including a resource hub (in development). These help employers begin the EDI journey at a point they find most appropriate based on their business needs
