A brief description of the diversity coordinator's position:

Under the direction of the Executive Director of Human Resources, Employment and Organizational Effectiveness, the Senior
Employment Advisor is responsible for the coordination of Concordia’s Employment Equity program.

The program is committed to providing equal opportunities for employment, ensuring that selection, promotion, and professional development opportunities are based on competencies and qualifications and identifying and removing systemic barriers to employment opportunities.

Concordia is committed to employment equity and in collaboration with our community, we analyze our workforce and our employment practices and work towards the achievement of a diversified and representative workforce of the designated groups:

Quebec: Women, Aboriginal Peoples, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, and handicapped persons
Federal: Women, Aboriginal Peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities

We make recommendations for setting institutional recruitment and selection strategies for staff groups; assist in the development of action plans for the hiring, promotion, and retention of members of the five groups designated by the Federal Contractors Programme (FCP) and the Provincial Employment Equity Act across all staff job categories.
