Does the sustainability office have initiatives specifically designed to recruit sustainability employees from underrepresented groups?:
A brief description of the initiatives specifically designed to recruit sustainability employees from underrepresented groups:
A DEI office has been created in 2019 to help and support the human resources department in the recruitment of employees and researchers issued from underrepresented groups. Efforts includes a rebranding of the HR recruitment webpage to showcase diversity, diversity targets for professor recruitment, training on unconscious bias for professors in charge of recruitment, and targeted marketing toward underrepresented groups.
As for the sustainability office, beyond working in close collaboration with the DEI office (DEI office was created following a sustainability office co-project), diversity requirements are included into job posting for its students employees since the last 3 years, and were the first of their kind at HEC Montréal. No more than 60% of student employees can be male or female, and at least one in every semester must belong to another underrepresented group.
Does the sustainability office ensure that sustainability employees complete DEI training?:

The training, called “Équité, diversité, inclusions : comprendre pour mieux agir” is made of 7 modules and was launched in 2020. First of its kind, people who subscribe have to complete a module every week and participate in exchange session. It was custom-made for HEC Montréal in collaboration with specialists from other universities and field. The SD Office regular employees have followed the diversity program during the first trial phase, to test the content, participate in focus group and provide direct feedback before the program is offered to members of our community.
