LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Supporting and holding everyone

accountable to advance Equity, Diversity, Inclusion

and Joy in work

2026 Goal: Leaders across Unity Health Toronto are recruited,
oriented, trained and supported to create an environment that

supports all aspects of the Institute for Healthcare
Improvement (IHI) Joy in Work framework. Ensure Unity Health

can provide impactful leadership development opportunities for
staff at all stages of their leadership journey. Equity, diversity
and inclusion are embedded into our policies, structures and

everyday culture, creating a safe space for addressing systemic
inequities and racism among our workforce in the same way we

strive to do with our communities. We recognize that
representation matters in advancing health equity and our
leaders and teams will become increasingly representative of

the communities that we serve.

Strategic Objectives

• Dramatically increase the leadership advancement program
offerings to dramatically impact the development of current

and future leaders
• Orient, mentor, educate, and grow accountability for
leadership excellence that contributes to all aspects of Joy in

Work
• Attract, promote and retain top talent that is representative

of the communities that we serve

structures and everyday culture
