Our focus

Inclusive leadership

To embed behaviours and language that reflect our core values and support a one ALS culture. Embracing an inclusive culture across the organization enables us to create a greater sense of belonging for all. Colleagues participate in unconscious bias training upon joining ALS, and inclusive leadership principles are embedded in our leadership programs. We have developed Inclusive Leadership training for all ALS team members, which will be launched in 2025.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Integral to building an inclusive culture and thriving business

ALS currently has RISE, which is our Gender ERG and BESIDE, which is our LGBTQ+ ERG.

Our 2025 RISE ERG plans include events to celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science, as well as International Women’s Day. BESIDE ERG will again celebrate Pride Month with their annual signature event. In 2024, BESIDE ERG’s signature event was titled ‘Celebrating Pride and Promoting Allyship,’ which was aimed at fostering inclusion, raising awareness, and advancing allyship.
