Pillar Nonprofit Network Announcement: Decent Work measures

Today, at noon with the musical backdrop of London’s Frank Ridsdale and Edgar and Joe’s pop-up commUNITY Kitchen, Pillar’s Board announced new “Decent Work” measures at Pillar. Pillar Nonprofit Network is a long-standing organization that strengthens community impact in London and area. One of its many innovative programs is Innovation Works, a coworking space and collaboration hub located downtown, where CRHESI’s staff are located.
CRHESI wishes to congratulate Mojdeh Cox on her promotion to CEO of Pillar after one year in her position as ED.
The board states they are taking radical accountability, looking at HR practices and taking action. The promotion of Mojdeh demonstrates the committment to elevate women in leadership, in the largely female impact sector, and particularly, racialized women.
As well, Pillar directors will now be VPs and new pay principles are implemented:
*Wage level transparency on all postings and for all positions.
*1:3 salary ratio threshold, from bottom to top earner.
*All cooperative learning and students will be paid.
*Pillar is a Living Wage employer for all staff.

The future of work is flexible and it is decent” Mojdeh Cox

What does this jellyfish have to do with CRHESI and Knowledge Mobilization?

Nothing exactly. But it is Earth Day and we wanted to appreciate the amazing beauty that is around us, today and every day.

Over the next months you will see some changes to CRHESI’s web channels. As we focus on knowledge mobilization (KMb) strategies you can expect we’ll be telling you about it as we go. Why? We want to tell you about KMb as we do KMb.
We believe in transparency about our process, and informing you along the way. It’s a win-win.

Around a specific goal or set of goals, CRHESI KMb strategies include:

  • Generating awareness and facilitating engagement toward action
  • Sharing and exchanging knowledge
  • Informing decision making
  • Informing research
  • Facilitating policy change

Through this blog, we speak to you, our CRHESI partners and invite your questions, comments or feedback!

Stay tuned.
