LTSA values its employees and prioritizes developing their skills, knowledge and abilities. This is reflected our efforts to further our diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives, develop leadership capabilities across the organization, and invest in employee training and development.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
LTSA’s DE&I vision statement helps shape the identity of the organization and sends a clear message to current and future employees about LTSA’s culture:
We are committed to fostering a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace where all employees can share their diverse views, skills and backgrounds. Valuing employee diversity strengthens workplace trust and enhances our ability to innovate in service of our customers and partners.
LTSA continues to maintain diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives and has incorporated ongoing enhancements to best practices and organizational culture. LTSA supports equality and reduces inequality through regular review of hiring practices, pay equity and an organizational culture where all our people can share their diverse views, skills and backgrounds. LTSA’s first Accessibility Plan has been completed which provides a three-year view of efforts to identify, remove, and prevent barriers that affect people with disabilities who use LTSA’s services and facilities.
Leadership Capability
LTSA invests in an in-house leadership program to develop capabilities which support strategic thinking, focused performance management and effective program delivery. The program includes formal training, coaching and mentorship, which strengthens organizational culture and helps LTSA deliver on strategy.
Employee Development and Training
LTSA invests in the learning and development of employees to strengthen innovation capabilities and build skills that enhance understanding of the public interest and drive business performance. LTSA provided organization-wide employee training on topics related to accessibility and cyber-security, as well as training for new employees on DE&I, privacy and code of business conduct and ethics. An ongoing monthly Lunch and Learn program offered sessions to improve business knowledge, life skills and personal wellbeing. LTSA also continued to support individual requests for external training and development in support of organizational and team objectives.
