Diversity Snapshot of Hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)
This project will provide a snapshot of diversity in hospitals in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). There
are a number of culturally diverse groups (e.g., visible minorities, women) who face barriers to
accessing healthcare services in Ontario as well as preventing their full workforce partiCipation. In
order to identify and address these barriers, diversity strategies (e.g., practices, processes, policies)
will be examined in six key areas: leadership and governance; strong and transparent human
resources practices; quality of life and organizational culture; measuring and tracking diversity;
integrating or mainstreaming diversity across the value chain and developing the pipeline. In such a
highly diverse region as the GTA, an examination of diversity strategies would yield examples of
successful practices – aimed at creating higher quality, client-centred, and accessible healthcare as
well as to increase the labour force participation of diverse groups – that can be adapted and applied
elsewhere.
