Humber’s Employment Equity Program - Implementation Steps
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.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity is re-establishing the Employment Equity Program at Humber.
Humber voluntarily complies with the Employment Equity Act.
The Implementation of an Employment Equity Program includes the following steps:
- Step 1: Initiate an employment equity program
- Step 2-1: Conduct a workforce analysis
- Step 2-2: Conduct an employment systems review
- Step 3: Create an employment equity plan
- Step 4: Establish and sustain an employment equity program
- Step 5: Produce an annual report
An Employment Equity Program was initiated at Humber several years ago. An ongoing process of the Employment Equity Program is to collect workforce information via Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire. The workforce information is used to conduct the workforce analysis (Step 2-1).
