Inclusion and Belonging

WSP's commitment to Inclusion and Belonging (I&B) is a central pillar of our culture and values. We stand at the forefront of efforts to foster an inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive.

WSP promotes a culture in which inclusion is expected and valued – our goal is to create trusting, collaborative and psychologically safe work environments where every single person feels they belong and everyone is empowered to speak up and be their authentic selves.

We measure our employees’ sense of belonging on a regular basis through our engagement survey and report on our progress on under-represented group representation annually. Our achievements have received global recognition.

True inclusion is about more than representation—it’s about creating a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. At WSP, we are dedicated to building that kind of environment, where a deep sense of belonging empowers our people to do their best work. Respect and fairness guide everything we do.

Thanks to our inclusive and diverse workplace, employees can tap into their full potential because they feel valued and know they are an essential part of our organization.

As Visioneers, we believe that solving the world’s most pressing challenges requires an innovative working environment made up of individuals with a broad range of experiences, knowledge, and backgrounds.

Fostering a trusting workplace

We provide a safe and trusting work environment for all our people.

Speaking up

We accept no compromises when it comes to ethics and inclusive behaviours. We make sure that our people feel at ease to talk openly.

Managing fairly

We ensure equal opportunity and fairness in a consistent manner.

Growing stronger together

As a global community, we celebrate our differences and share our learning.

While our approach to I&B is global, it is put into practice in various ways depending on local considerations.

Since I&B is at the core of who we are, employees have access to specific training in this regard. This reflects our global approach and commitment while taking into account local needs.

We are proud of our dynamic employee groups around the world, in which individuals can share experiences and celebrate differences.  Our employee groups are open for all our employees to join and take part.

These groups also play a key role in the local promotion of STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) to inspire the next generation and contribute to a more diverse industry in the future.
