About Shauna Cole

I know first-hand that injustice shows up in the workplace in lots of ways. It’s those vague but powerful prejudices that run like currents below the surface of office politics. It's wrong. But so is perpetuating the dishonesty that bias is history. So, I’ve taken my experiences to create a job board and content that focuses on inclusion.

I’m an award-winning University Instructor, MBA, Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) and Senior Certified Human Resources Professional (SHRM-SCP) with over 20 years' professional Human Resources experience.

As seen: CBC, LinkedIn News, The University of New Brunswick, The Canadian HR Reporter, Motherly, Working Mother, Huddle, The Maritime Edit, Fairygodboss, Jobscan and more.
