On September 19, 2019, the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Taskforce launched the video, Call to Action on Employment Equity, at Humber’s Strategic Plan Town Hall Meeting. Employment Equity related videos are one of the many mechanisms that the EDI Taskforce will be using to illustrate Senior Leaderships’ commitment to increase the hiring of qualified diverse individuals at Humber.

The first video in this series titled, Call to Action on Employment Equity, features Laurie Rancourt, Senior Vice President, Academic.

To view the video, please visit Humber’s Employment Equity Program website.

On behalf of Ian Crookshank, Dean of Students, and I, deep thanks to the EDI Taskforce members.

Managers now have an option to download an .ics calendar file to display an employee’s upcoming absence in their own calendar. This file will be available to download through the HRMS Bell notification area and within the absence request notification email.

Note - the .ics calendar file download will be a static absence entry, which means, if the absence request is modified within the HRMS, the manager must download a new .ics file and delete the old one from their calendar.
