Inclusion and Diversity

Jackie Scales, Director, Diversity and Inclusion

In the Spotlight: Jackie Scales

In January 2019, Teck welcomed Jackie Scales as our new Director of Inclusion and Diversity. In this role, Jackie is responsible for leading Teck’s Inclusion and Diversity strategy, initiatives and change management in order to continue building a strong and diverse workforce that is engaged and contributing to Teck’s social and economic goals, as set out in Teck’s Inclusion and Diversity Policy.

Here, Jackie shares her own inclusion journey, and where she sees opportunities for Teck moving forward.

As someone new to Teck, what excites you here around inclusion and diversity?

我在Teck发现非常令人兴奋和鼓舞人心的是,通过各级领导层和强大的承诺,坚持不懈的承诺,并承诺继续这一旅程。我们取得了一些巨大的进步,而Teck是在矿业在矿业内容的许多途径中领先。本身就是令人兴奋的。

I started my career in the banking sector and assumed that being the only woman in the room was an industry-specific phenomenon. After completing my MBA, starting a family, and beginning a new career where I was spending a lot of time with executive leadership teams, I noticed I was still one of the few women in the room. I saw an opportunity to help organizations recognize their challenges with inclusion and diversity, and what they could do to improve. At Deloitte, I helped organizations develop and implement inclusion and diversity strategies that help to recruit and retain more women into leadership roles. I leveraged that experience as I started to work within the mining sector, specifically in South America. That’s where I came across Teck, through work building the inclusive environment we want to establish for QB2.

今天的包容和多样性是什么样的?

我们对领导有很强的承诺,我们的高级行政多元化委员会确保了这一领域的强烈治理。Teck在全球各地的各个地点和办事处创造了一些伟大的性别股权工作。我们看到所有包容性人才度量的积极增加。我们期待继续看到改进,并确定我们如何利用整个组织的最佳实践。

要清楚地,多样性与使我们独特的可见和隐形特征说话,并且根据定义,包含意味着包括或包含在组或结构中的行动或状态。实际上,包容通常意味着与每个人略有不同。它是觉得重视,听到你的声音。我在Teck纳入的目标是,每个员工都觉得他们可以说出他们的真理,他们将让自己听到并受到他人真相的影响。这就是包含对我的意义。在一个环境中工作,让我们每天带来整个自我。多样性是一个事实,包含是一种选择。

你认为这件事是Teck目前的机会吗?

We have an opportunity to continue to build on the momentum that’s been established with our continued focus on Indigenous Peoples and gender equity. Building on that, there’s an opportunity for us to shift the conversation more towards inclusion. I am a firm believer that inclusion leads to diversity, not the other way around. We need to ensure that we have a strong inclusive culture to support Teck’s great ongoing work.
