Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.
Humber voluntarily complies with the Employment Equity Act.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity is re-establishing the Employment Equity Program at Humber.
As part of the Employment Equity Act, we must fulfill the following requirements:
- collect workforce information;
- complete a workforce analysis and an achievement report;
- establish short-term and long-term numerical goals; and
- make reasonable efforts to ensure that reasonable progress is made towards having full representation of the designated groups within its workforce.
Please visit the Centre website for Frequently Asked Questions pertaining to Humber’s Employment Equity Program.
