Co-Accountable Model
The Peel board believes the work of making all staff feel welcomed and included goes beyond hiring. Its Co-accountable Model project supports diversity across all employee groups. At the core of the project is the belief that any work at real inclusion must actively involve the people inside and outside the organization in a new kind of partnership—one in which accountability for success is shared.
Under the Co-accountable Model, the Peel board will:
- create formal mentoring events and summits, including the creation of targeted advisory groups for all protected classes to assist in community outreach
- train key leaders on fundamental concepts related to beliefs, assumptions and behaviours
- make online simulations accessible to all Peel board employees to foster awareness of the diversity dividend
- provide advice and counsel on this project as it moves forward

Famous quotes containing the word model:
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
