TORONTO, May 29, 2024
/CNW/ - Scotiabank is pleased to announce that Sloane Muldoon, Senior Vice President, Global HR
Services, has been named Employment Equity Champion by the
Government of Canada. The award is
part of the 2024 Employment Equity Achievement Awards (EEAA) and
recognizes an executive for their proven record of championing
employment equity within their organization, as well as the
recipients' overall contribution to diversity and inclusiveness in
the workplace.
"Sloane has a long-standing record of championing employment
equity at Scotiabank and embodies an ethos of diversity, equity and
inclusion in her leadership," said Jenny Poulos, Chief Human
Resource Officer, Scotiabank. "Throughout her career, Sloane has
been a true catalyst for change, recognizing the Banks greatest
asset is our people, and being willing to open the door for others
behind her to advance employment equity. On behalf of all
Scotiabankers, I am proud to congratulate Sloane in this incredibly
well-deserved achievement."
Sloane was recognized for her multiple employment equity and
inclusive achievements, including serving as the executive sponsor
and co-chair of The Scotiabank Women Initiative (SWI) for
three years. During Sloane's time in role, SWI exceeded its goal of
$3 billion for capital deployed to
support women, with the program growing to 20,000 participants.
During her tenure as the Bank's Global Inclusion lead, Sloane
championed the development of an Indigenous Centre of Excellence at
the Bank to better support the inclusion of Indigenous employees
across the organization. Sloane also led Bank-wide initiatives to
support employees with disabilities (PWDs) during her time as chair
of the Bank's Employee Accessibility Executive Council, advancing
the Bank's accessibility operating model to address gaps in the
employee experience for PWDs.
Most recently, Sloane championed the expansion of Scotiabank's
Global Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Sponsorship Program,
which pairs mid-level employees from equity-deserving groups with
senior level employees who use their influence and advocacy to
obtain positive career impacts for the employee they sponsor. Under
Sloane's leadership of the program, four business and functional
lines implemented cohorts between 2022 to 2023, with 85 per cent of
protégés graduating. Of those graduates, 99 per cent have remained
at the Bank as of April 2024. From
the 2022 Global Wealth Management Pilot cohort, 42 per cent of
retained protégé graduates received a promotion as of April 2024.
