What is Employment Equity?

 

Employment equity is an on-going planning process to eliminate barriers in the workplace that may prevent the full participation of all employees and/or prospective employees. It focuses on the employment situation of individuals or groups protected under the  Human Rights Act , or identified as a designated group under the Employment Equity Act (EEA), Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO) in United States.

 

The goal of employment equity is to identify and eliminate barriers in the organization’s employment policies and practices, foster a climate for equity, and improve access and distribution throughout all occupations and at all levels for members of the designated groups. The policy provides for the right to equal opportunity for all individuals regardless of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, disability or conviction for which a pardon has been granted.The EEA/EEO seeks to eliminate barriers against the following designated group members – women, Aboriginal people, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities.

A monitoring system has been adopted in order to track the progress and results achieved in implementing employment equity. The Employment Equity Plan will be reviewed on an annual basis, and will be revised as necessary. Anyone who has concerns related to the implementation of this policy may bring it in writing to the Employment Equity Committee.
