Miraterra believes in creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce that is present in every aspect of the work that we do. Diversity is a rich mix of differences that encompasses all of the dimensions that make each person one-of-a-kind, including age, culture, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, parental status, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status and more. Equity drives fairness, and inclusion fosters a strong sense of belonging for everyone.
Although this is not intended to be an all inclusive list, these are some common areas of dimensions of diversity, along with resources on how you can help to foster a more diverse and inclusive work environment.

Disability
Disability Inclusion
Reasonable Accommodation Policy
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA - US)
EEOC fact sheet on disability discrimination
Title I requires companies to provide a reasonable accommodation to engage in their job duties.
These accommodations can include modifications or adjustments to job, work environment, or a different structure/pattern on how work is generally performed.
The ADA requires reasonable accommodations as they relate to:
Ensuring equal opportunity in the application process
Enabling a qualified individual with a disability to perform the essential functions of a job
Making it possible for an employee with a disability to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment.
Reasonable accommodations must not offer undue hardship to the organization.
The Accessible Canada Act is a federal law that aims to identify, remove and prevent barriers from people with disabilities.
