This will be a focused lecture led by Russell Pollard (Principal of Framework Leadership), guided with visual support, followed by a question and answer period.

Workplaces can play an important role in supporting a more inclusive architecture profession.

This presentation offers industry-specific research on how the workplaces of architecture and engineering firms are experience by employees. Starting with awareness, this session aims to support individuals in becoming more inclusive in how they interact with, support, and lead colleagues. It will support business leaders in understanding where inequities are and how they can be addressed.

Research that will be presented is from a survey of over six hundred employees and jobseekers of architects and engineers in Canada, conducted by Framework Leadership in 2021.
