Our Approach to Indigenous Employment and Workplace Inclusion

At Indigenous Works, we use two proven frameworks to help organizations advance Indigenous employment and inclusion: the Indigenous Inclusion Continuum and the Corporate–Indigenous Partnership Model. These models provide practical pathways for employers to build stronger relationships, inclusive workplaces, and lasting reconciliation.

The Indigenous Inclusion Continuum

The Indigenous Inclusion Continuum is our signature seven-stage roadmap for workplace inclusion. It helps organizations assess where they are today and identify the next steps toward stronger Indigenous engagement.

Each stage builds the cultural awareness, organizational capacity, and inclusive practices needed to recruit, retain, and advance Indigenous talent. Using this model, we work with you to align policies, strategies, and cultural know-how to create meaningful, measurable progress in Indigenous employment.

The Corporate–Indigenous Partnership Model

Our Corporate–Indigenous Partnership Model focuses on how partnerships between employers and Indigenous organizations are formed, strengthened, and sustained.

Through our Navigating Indigenous Employment program, we teach organizations how to build trust, co-create employment strategies, and form collaborations that drive recruitment, advancement, and retention outcomes.

When companies and Indigenous organizations work together, they unlock shared value, new opportunities, and stronger pathways to economic reconciliation.
