We are proud to be recognized on the Globe and Mail’s Women Lead Here list as we continue to take meaningful steps forward in our inclusion and diversity journey.

Using its methodology and benchmark of gender diversity in corporate Canada, Rogers was recognized for having women in 45% of all senior roles.
“Securing our spot on the Women Lead Here list shows we are making important progress and pushes us to create even more opportunities and elevate the exceptional women who’ve chosen to grow their careers at Rogers,” said Lisa Durocher, EVP Financial Services, Rogers.
Initiatives that helped earn our place on the Women Lead Here list include:
- An inclusive recruitment process that leverages diverse job boards, presenting diverse candidate slates (goal of 50% equity-deserving groups, including women), and ensuring a diverse interview panel. We also work with organizations like Women in Communications and Technology and Catalyst to help attract top, diverse talent
- An Accelerated Development Program for Women to drive gender diversity at the executive levels. Through coaching, networking, and development opportunities, we are reinforcing a strong pipeline of women directors and senior managers at Rogers. Of women who have completed the program, 33% identify with an additional equity-deserving group, and 40% have advanced their careers at Rogers
- A company-wide, self-directed mentoring program helps women – and all employees – drive their development and gain allies and sponsors. Employees can self-identify and request a mentor with a similar lived experience. More than 500 women have been part of the program since it began in 2018
- Workshops, and speed networking coordinated by employee-led Rogers Diversity Groups RISE, Rogers Women in Tech, and Rogers Women of Colour to support career growth through relationship building.
- Parental and adoptive leave top-ups, phased return to work, and family planning support services – all designed to help women who wish to have a family do so while continuing to advance their career at Rogers
