All full-time and non-full-time employees are invited to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ).
Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to workplace equity, diversity and inclusion. Employment Equity is a term used in Canada to describe a process for achieving equality in all aspects of employment. Humber complies voluntarily with the Employment Equity Act under the Federal Contractors Program.
The information that you provide in the EEQ 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 is essential in accurately identifying where underrepresentation exists and allows for targeted efforts toward removing barriers and addressing that underrepresentation.
The Goal of Employment Equity is to:
- Eliminate employment barriers for the designated groups: Indigenous people, women, persons with disabilities, and members of racialized groups. At Humber, we provide individuals with the opportunity to identify their sexual orientation and gender identity;
- Remedy past discrimination in employment opportunities and prevent future barriers;
- Improve access and distribution throughout all occupations and at all levels for members of the identified groups; and
- Foster a climate of equity and inclusion.
View more information on the People(s) and Culture webpage.
Please note: the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.
