We are the GEDI-Hub

About Us

We are the GEDI-Hub, Alberta’s first and only workplace resource centre for workplace equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).

What we offer

A passionate advocate for workplace equity and diversity, inspiring a group at the GEDI Hub.

Prioritizing workplace diversity and inclusion increases employee engagement, retention and attracts talent.

We address the ever-evolving workforce needs that Alberta workplaces face- addressing these immediate and future needs by utilizing workplace diversity and inclusion as proven and sustainable workplace strategies. Prioritizing workplace diversity and inclusion increases employee engagement, retention and attracts talent. Using these strategies not only addresses immediate hiring and retention needs, but it also plays a factor in workplace culture, innovation, and resilience, especially as Alberta workplaces enter into a period of post-pandemic recovery.

The GEDI-Hub is a Gateway Association Initiative.

Gateway has been proudly serving Albertans since 1975 and is a leader in disability services. With offices located in Edmonton and Calgary, Gateway has empowered families and people who live with disabilities to live fully authentic lives through the Family Resource Centre, Learning Resource Centre and Employment Resource centre. In addition to providing support to job seekers for over 10 years, Gateway has guided Alberta workplaces with recruitment, onboarding, orientation, engagement and retention tools, resources, and coaching.
