A brief description of the employee diversity and employment equity assessment(s):
Employee diversity is assessed on a regular basis through the annual workforce analysis which is conducted to meet our obligations under the Federal Contractors Program. This analysis is based on the collection of self-identification information which is collected on an ongoing basis when employees are hired and periodically through the course of a person’s employment at Dalhousie. Results of the workforce analysis help to guide initiatives and special measures where they are most in need as part of Dalhousie’s commitment to a diverse workforce under the Employment Equity through Affirmative Action Policy and Federal Contractors Program compliance
None
Has the institution assessed diversity and equity in terms of governance and public engagement?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the governance and public engagement assessment(s):
The findings from Dalhousie President, Dr. Florizone’s “100 Days of Listening” identified diversity and inclusiveness as one of the key emerging priorities after soliciting feedback from internal faculty, staff and students and external stakeholders. In addition, in Dr. Florizone’s installation address as President, he identified diversity as one of the key themes that will guide the direction of the University in moving forward. Dalhousie’s strategic direction was developed based on the 100 Days report, with an implementation plan expected by the end of 2014 that will outline specific goals, timetables and resources needed to fulfill the strategic direction.
