Extendicare women leading the way to improve seniors’ care
25 März 2022 - 3:18PM
Extendicare today announced its inclusion on the Globe and Mail
Report on Business 2022 Women Lead Here list, an annual benchmark
of executive gender diversity in corporate Canada.
The recognition underscores the critical role women play in
leadership at Extendicare — from running our long-term care homes
and home care operations to executive level roles and sitting at
the board room table.
“We are honoured to be recognized as a workplace where there is
no ceiling to professional growth and career advancement for women
on our team,” says Dr. Michael Guerriere, Extendicare President and
CEO. “Women make up the vast majority of our workforce and hold
leadership positions at every level of the organization as we
pursue our mission to reimagine seniors’ care across Canada.”

Launched in 2020, Women Lead Here is produced annually by the
Globe and Mail Report on Business magazine. It uses a proprietary
research methodology to identify Canadian companies that have
achieved or are nearing gender parity in executive ranks. After
evaluating approximately 500 Canadian companies, Report on Business
identified a short list of companies at the forefront, determined
by the level of representation of women in leadership
positions.
Women represent 70 per cent of leadership positions across every
division at Extendicare and make up nearly 87 per cent of the
company’s total employee population.
“We are grateful for the incredible contributions made by our
teams across the country, and today we celebrate the women across
our organization, whether they serve in executive leadership roles
or provide direct care to residents, patients and clients,” says
Leslie Sarauer, Extendicare Senior Vice President and Chief Human
Resources Officer. “Their passion, dedication and hard work are
essential to our ongoing efforts to improve care, every day for
seniors, patients and clients, at a critical moment in health
care.”
The full list of 2022 Women Lead Here honourees can be found in
the April issue of Report on Business magazine, distributed with
The Globe and Mail on Saturday, March 26, 2022 and available online
now.
