RETAILBOSS is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace that reflects the global retail and fashion industries we cover. Our staffing and hiring policies follow the principles of Canada’s Employment Equity Act, prioritizing fair access to employment and advancement opportunities for all qualified applicants, regardless of background, identity, or personal circumstances.​

We actively work to increase representation across four key designated groups: Women, Visible Minorities, Indigenous peoples, persons with Disabilities, and other Underrepresented Communities. The company ensures that recruitment, interviews, promotions, and professional development opportunities are conducted free of bias and discrimination, consistent with Canadian human rights legislation.​

Our staffing policies include:

  • Job postings distributed across inclusive job boards and minority business networks.

  • Partnerships with postsecondary institutions and organizations promoting workplace inclusion.

  • An internal review process ensuring that promotion and pay decisions are equitable and performance-based.

  • Annual staff feedback surveys to evaluate inclusivity and representation across departments.

We believe that diversity within our newsroom and consulting teams leads to more innovative thinking, stronger storytelling, and improved connections with the audiences and communities we serve. RETAILBOSS continues to review its hiring practices annually to support measurable progress toward gender parity and multicultural representation across all levels of the organization
