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 (1995) to remove barriers to employment for Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, visible minorities and women. Humber includes sexual orientation as part of its overall equity program, including Employment Equity. Your participation in completing the Employment Equity Questionnaire is important.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity invites all full-time, part-time, contract and sessional employees to complete the revised Employment Equity Questionnaire. 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.
Please take a few minutes to complete the confidential questionnaire.
To access the 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 Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity’s website, or contact Nancy Simms, Director Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity, at 416.675.6622 ext.4425.
