Chandran Fernando – Founder and Managing Partner for Matrix360

When we think about diversity and inclusion, we often think of how to make our workplaces and society more accessible for everyone. But what if we looked at it from a different perspective?

What if we started by asking: what’s the best way to make workplaces and society that works for everyone?

Matrix360’s Managing Partner, Chandran Fernando, spoke with NationTalk’s Nick Ashawasega about what he believes is crucial in creating an inclusive workplace: a collaborative mindset and centering the power of humanity.

Listen as Chandran shares his insights on how business leaders can transform workplaces and society through centering the First Peoples of the Land – through listening and being guided.

We all have a part to play and benefit from taking on the journey to learn and build better together.

With curiosity and an openness to lead, we can accelerate our progress and make spaces and systems that work for all people in Canada.
