FREE | ONLINE: Can I Ask That!? Determining Representation of Your Current Workforce

In the very near future Public Tenders will require Contractors to satisfy certain equity seeking thresholds to be considered for the project.  For Trade contractors, the prime contractor might be asking you for information about your diverse workforce to assist them in qualifying.  This webinar will help your company be ready to respond to these bidding opportunities by preparing you to administer employee self-identification surveys.

Determining representation of your current workforce is a critical first step in implementing an employment equity program and demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion. The benefits for employers not only include a more diverse workforce but also opens the door for bidding opportunities on major construction projects where this could be a differentiating factor.

In this information panel session, we will review:

• What is the purpose of Employment Equity
• Employment equity and employee self-declaration vs Human Rights legislation
• What do companies need to get started
• The “Self-Identification Toolkit” including questionnaire templates

Join Wendy Hofford, People Management Consultant, and Rob Olson, Partner, Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP for this 90-minute webinar about the implementation and legalities of equity group employee self-declaration.
