00:00:07.190 --> 00:00:10.430
Ontario Teachers' is a place
where you can be yourself

2f1d6bcd-afce-4dfe-ae9d-a7beaaf7fe56-0
00:00:11.020 --> 00:00:14.213
and you can make an impact.
Ontario Teachers' encourages me

2f1d6bcd-afce-4dfe-ae9d-a7beaaf7fe56-1
00:00:14.213 --> 00:00:14.480
to be

879be9f9-27e1-4f22-b0f7-248990c3a85c-0
00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:19.018
innovative, creative, always ask
for my teams different

879be9f9-27e1-4f22-b0f7-248990c3a85c-1
00:00:19.018 --> 00:00:23.135
perspectives and reflect on my
own. I'm inspired to experiment

879be9f9-27e1-4f22-b0f7-248990c3a85c-2
00:00:23.135 --> 00:00:26.989
and think outside the box and
push the boundaries. You can

879be9f9-27e1-4f22-b0f7-248990c3a85c-3
00:00:26.989 --> 00:00:30.910
bring your best self to work and
everyone benefits from it.

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-0
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.076
I think what it comes down to is
the level of commitment and the

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-1
00:00:36.076 --> 00:00:39.972
level of passion that our people
bring, whether that's our Board,

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-2
00:00:39.972 --> 00:00:43.278
our Executive Team, through to
every single employee or

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-3
00:00:43.278 --> 00:00:47.055
Employee Resource Group leads or
our DEI Council members. I see

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-4
00:00:47.055 --> 00:00:50.774
this vulnerability loop from the
actions of the ERG's that has

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-5
00:00:50.774 --> 00:00:54.493
really ramped up the importance
of the ERG's and has ramped up

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-6
00:00:54.493 --> 00:00:58.212
the culture and Teachers' over
the last three years. There are

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-7
00:00:58.212 --> 00:01:01.635
colleagues that I know more
about them. There are stories

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-8
00:01:01.635 --> 00:01:04.764
that they shared that they
wouldn't ever share in

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-9
00:01:04.764 --> 00:01:07.833
another setting. The DEI
Council's really important

b37eb111-7b54-4f0d-92ec-eeb42ae33ef6-10
00:01:07.833 --> 00:01:10.490
because the role it plays is
really creating

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-0
00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:13.867
accountability across the firm
and at very senior levels of the

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-1
00:01:13.867 --> 00:01:17.197
organization. Regardless of what
office you're in, the inclusion

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-2
00:01:17.197 --> 00:01:20.065
and making sure people feel like
they have a voice that

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-3
00:01:20.065 --> 00:01:22.728
transcends borders and
transcends offices. It's not

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-4
00:01:22.728 --> 00:01:26.006
just sort of internally within
our workforce, but the fact that

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-5
00:01:26.006 --> 00:01:29.130
we sort of cascade the values
that we hold true to ourselves

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-6
00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:32.203
down to our portfolio companies
as well. Teachers' has been

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-7
00:01:32.203 --> 00:01:35.430
known as a strong investor for
many years. Now we're adding to

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-8
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:38.093
that by being strong as a
value-driven company that

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-9
00:01:38.093 --> 00:01:40.961
encourages everyone to be
themselves. I think this is a

1b1155b8-f390-4891-8c5f-dd5270e6f92c-10
00:01:40.961 --> 00:01:42.139
continuous journey, and

474a1901-6ad8-4d12-806e-cc7fe13be8d1-0
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.807
I think we're getting to a place
where it's no longer written.

474a1901-6ad8-4d12-806e-cc7fe13be8d1-1
00:01:46.807 --> 00:01:50.694
It's something that everybody in
the organization feels in one

474a1901-6ad8-4d12-806e-cc7fe13be8d1-2
00:01:50.694 --> 00:01:54.705
way or another, and that's what
kind of inspires everybody to do

474a1901-6ad8-4d12-806e-cc7fe13be8d1-3
00:01:54.705 --> 00:01:58.408
more and to feel connected and
be part of something that is

474a1901-6ad8-4d12-806e-cc7fe13be8d1-4
00:01:58.408 --> 00:01:58.840
bigger.
