The ongoing work to build internal leadership capability provides additional strength to our organizational culture and helps LTSA deliver on our strategy. In addition, LTSA provided organization-wide training that includes topics related to Indigenous awareness, corporate policy and cybersecurity.

Focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
LTSA has continued to develop diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives and has incorporated ongoing enhancements to best practices and organizational culture. LTSA supports equality and reduced inequalities through regular review of hiring practices, pay equity and an organizational culture where all our people can share their diverse views, skills and backgrounds. The organization has continued to strengthen cross-functional knowledge and efforts related to ESG and sustainable development goals. 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.
