Humber is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Employment Equity is a program legislated by the Federal Employment Equity Act (2005) to remove barriers to employment for Aboriginal people, persons with disabilities, visible minorities and women. Humber includes sexual minorities as part of its overall equity program, including employment equity.

I invite all faculty, support and administration staff to complete the revised Employment Equity Questionnaire that will be distributed on January 26, 2011.

Answering these questions is voluntary. However, if you choose not to self-identify, I ask that you complete the questionnaire by choosing the “Decline to Answer” option located at the end of each question.

The information that you provide in the Employment Equity Questionnaire will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification. Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation will allow us to identify where underrepresentation exist, and to target our efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in our employment systems.
Your participation is important.

Please take a few minutes to complete this confidential questionnaire. If you require the Employment Equity Questionnaire in an accessible format, or have any questions about Employment Equity, please refer to the ‘Resources’ section of the Human Rights & Diversity website or contact Nancy Simms, Human Rights & Diversity Manager at (416) 675-6622 x 4425.

Sincerely,

John Davies
President
