Please complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire

Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Employment Equity is a program legislated by the Federal Employment Equity Act to remove barriers to employment for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, visible minorities and women. Humber includes sexual minorities as part of its overall equity program, including employment equity. All Humber employees’ participation is important.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity is inviting all faculty, support staff and administration to complete the revised Employment Equity Questionnaire. The information that is provided in the Employment Equity Questionnaire will be kept confidential. We are requesting that you encourage the staff in your School or Department to take a few minutes to complete the confidential questionnaire.

To access the questionnaire:

1. Go to fluidsurveys.com/s/HumberCollegeEmploymentEquity
2. Input your email address in the “Email” box and click “Continue”

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, Equity & Diversity website, hrs.humber.ca/diversity or contact Nancy Simms, Director, Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity, at 416-665-6622 ext. 4425.
