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

What is HELP?

  • HELP is the Humber Engagement and Learning Profile survey for incoming students.
  • Developed by a cross-institutional Advisory Group, HELP is a cutting-edge incoming student survey.

Who is HELP for?

  • HELP asks incoming first-semester students in certificate, diploma and degree programs to tell us about their preparation for college, their educational and career goals, early opinions about their program and Humber generally, and to identify particular student support services they may use.
  • Participating students are entered into a draw for more than $1,000 in prizes, including money towards tuition and an Apple iPod sponsored by the Humber Students Federation (HSF).

When does it happen?

  • The HELP survey is open to students during the third and fourth weeks of class (January 23 – February 5).
  • The survey is administered online and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Why is HELP important?

  • Students tell us how we can help them be successful at Humber, and receive individualized emails and timely information about Humber’s services based on areas of assistance they identified as beneficial!
  •  Humber Institutional Research creates reports based on student responses to key questions and distributes these to student service areas as well as academic faculty/staff; identifies those who are struggling or at-risk of leaving early.
  • Aggregate data at the program, school and college levels will help us to develop institutional retention strategies that will help more students be successful in their program.

Where can you get HELP info?

  • To ask questions or learn more about the survey or reports please contact Humber Institutional Research.
