She has a degree in First Nations Studies and an Associate Arts Degree in Indigenous Government Studies. Leveraging Chrystal\u2019s deep connection to and understanding of the Indigenous culture, the blessing ceremony &#8211; a first of its kind for Intuit &#8211; indicated that our new site was approved of and blessed by the Indigenous community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this partnership with the local Indigenous community went beyond the ceremony itself, with Toronto site leadership working with Tabobandung and RAISE throughout the design process to integrate the Indigenous culture into the physical space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo words can express the gratitude for the incorporation of the indigeneity to your office space,\u201d said Tabobandung at the ceremony. \u201cI feel as an Indigenous person, I&#8217;m being seen and finally being acknowledged and consulted on projects like this one to make sure that they are culturally sensitive and done in the right way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" width=\"1280\" controls poster=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-126.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit_-_toronto_site_blessing_video_oct25-720p.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a special and sacred moment, and one long in the making.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the outset of the Toronto site design, which began in 2021, Intuit put out a call out to Toronto employees to name the meeting rooms in the new space. Along with a number of other fun and localized ideas, one that stood out to leadership was an Indigenous theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs soon as we saw the theme we immediately liked it and recognized its importance to our culture and place here in Canada and beyond,\u201d says Toronto site leader and Head of Finance Chris Kallinis. \u201cHowever, through the ideation process, the first thing we discovered was how much we didn\u2019t know about the culture we intended to celebrate. Frankly that was a problem and a wake up call for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team decided that if they were to pursue an Indigenous theme, they needed to engage the right people from Indigenous backgrounds at the outset. Kallinis, along with Intuit Indigenous Peoples Network leaders, took it upon themselves to track down organizations that could educate the team on the culture and ensure true representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg 7008w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=740,493 740w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=1440,960 1440w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-019.jpg?resize=720,480 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This journey eventually led the team to Chrystal and her culture awareness and competency training business. The team met with Chrystal to explain their vision, and seek advice on how to go about honouring the culture in the right way. A few weeks later, Chrystal came back to Intuit to educate them on a number of culture touchstones, including the seven grandfather teachings. For the Intuit Canada team, this was an epiphany moment, given the deep alignment to Intuit\u2019s identity and culture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWisdom, bravery, respect, honesty, truth, love, and humility. When I presented those to the Intuit team, we all had goosebumps, because when you look at the teachings and you look at Intuit\u2019s values, it really resonates,\u201d said Tabobandung.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chrystal\u2019s knowledge and lived experience ensured the designers properly integrated and honoured the culture, from the nomenclature to the physical design attributes, ensuring the proper Indigenous names, symbols, and pronunciations were represented. The team also engaged the local Indigenous community to curate Indigenous artwork, and even had an artist dissemble then rebuild a canoe that was previously featured at the former Canadian headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9472\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg 7008w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=740,493 740w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=1440,960 1440w, https:\/\/intuitblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/intuit-10_13-105.jpg?resize=720,480 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis approach was about purposefully building an environment that embraces and celebrates our diverse culture by truly integrating and learning from those we\u2019re hoping to represent,\u201d said Kallinis. \u201cWe\u2019re very grateful to Chrystal and of course Intuit\u2019s Indigenous Peoples Network, who have driven this effort to help the organization cultivate awareness of, and ultimately enrich opportunities for Indigenous Peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process of reflection and education is one example of Intuit\u2019s commitment to building a truly inclusive culture, and represents a milestone in our journey to be inclusive by design &#8211;&nbsp; not only through equitable talent practices, policies, and resources, but by designing our physical spaces in consultation with groups we aim to represent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to marry design with culture and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve done here,\u201d added Kallinis. \u201cThe energy that exudes from people when they&#8217;re in this building and when they come down to this floor and they see the care and the thoughtfulness that\u2019s gone into this.
