Client Spotlight

EMCO Corporation is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. The company actively promotes a discrimination-, harassment-, and barrier-free environment where all employees can thrive. EMCO also prioritizes attracting and developing a diverse pipeline of future leaders.

As is common in the construction industry, EMCO’s workforce has historically been male-dominated. Recognizing this, the company made inclusion a strategic priority, one that reflects its belief that diverse teams drive stronger performance, better culture, and long-term success. By fostering an inclusive work environment, EMCO aims to attract, engage, and retain talent from a wide range of backgrounds and lived experiences.

To support their goal of fostering an inclusive workplace, EMCO recognized that real change starts with the leaders on the ground—its Profit Centre leaders. These leaders are uniquely positioned to shape team dynamics and create an environment where all employees feel respected, heard, and valued.

To equip these leaders with the mindset and skills to build inclusion in the workplace, EMCO partnered with The Humphrey Group to bring in our Inclusive Leadership program. This learning experience is designed to build the specific communication skills that drive inclusion. Through a blend of facilitated learning and practical exercises, their leaders strengthened their ability to recognize and interrupt unconscious bias in real time, use inclusive language, respond to difficult feedback and different perspectives, and adapt communication styles to engage diverse perspectives

By investing in the development of its Profit Centre Leaders, EMCO is building the leadership capacity required to cultivate a culture of respect, trust, and innovation.
