Watch what our employees and CEO have to say about diversity and inclusion

"Diversity is important to me, first and foremost because it’s the right thing to do. And I say that as a father. The last thing I would want is for my son to have more opportunities than my two daughters would have. They should be able to rise to their potential. And as a business, it is critical because we want to be able to tap into the full talent pool in order to grow our business."

Parity Certification In 2023, CAE was awarded the Gold-level certification by Women in Governance for its efforts in promoting gender parity in the workplace.

The Women in Governance Parity Certification serves to recognize organizations that have achieved results by articulating a commitment to gender parity in the workplace, integrating it to the ecosystem of the organization and implementing mechanisms to achieve that commitment and sustain it over time. CAE was awarded the Silver-level certification in 2021 and Bronze-level certification in 2019.

CAE is proud to have been recognized by this innovative standard for its efforts in diversity and inclusion​​​​​​​

Diversity & Inclusion:
A business imperative
 
At CAE, we’re proud of our noble purpose. We are also actively building a company that’s more open, progressive and people centric, and creating a workplace where all employees can feel accepted, included and valued for who they are.

Sharpening our focus on Diversity & Inclusion is both the smart and right thing to do. The more diverse our people are and the more inclusive our culture is, the more innovative and successful we’ll be in achieving our purpose. Greater diversity and inclusivity will also help us attract and retain top talent as well as better connect with customers worldwide.
