“ I appreciate the courage of current and former employees who have come forward to share their experiences of their time at the company. Understanding the impact that these allegations had on the team, Simon has chosen a smaller, non managerial role, prototyping a Research and Development project.įollowing the workplace assessment results, Amélie Lamarche was reinstated by the Board of Directors as CEO. As a result, the Board of Directors approved Simon’s conditional reinstatement.
Simon has been cooperative in the process and accepted responsibility for his actions. This indicates that the measures taken at the time did have their intended effect.
This audit did not find any evidence of misconduct since 2019. In the wake of the 2021 media article, there was an independent assessment of the workplace. The confusion and emotional turmoil it caused is something we deeply regret. Instead, the lack of transparency created an atmosphere of uncertainty. It should have been done so at the time of the events, to reinforce the company’s values by sharing clearly with everyone the consequences of this type of behaviour. The details of what happened and the disciplinary actions taken were not communicated to the team until recently when allegations were made in the media. However, the lack of communication in regards to management’s actions following the allegations is regrettable. The Solertia report revealed that the absence of clear communication from management as to the steps taken created the perception that nothing was done or that the allegations were not taken seriously. Management was quick to act and address the situation swiftly but discreetly, resulting in actions that included Simon stepping down from his position of CEO. In 2019, an independent investigation was launched following allegations that Simon Darveau, the CEO of the Studio at the time, acted inappropriately at a party. The board has welcomed all of the recommendations by the external firm and management is committed to the implementation of the same. The 2021 workplace assessment report and action plan has been shared in its entirety with the team, and presented to the board by Solertia Consulting Group.
