BIAS-FREE STAFFING                         français

INTRODUCTION

Canadians agree that no one should face employment barriers simply by virtue of being a woman, a person with a disability, an Aboriginal person, or a member of a visible minority. Yet, the reality is that qualified individuals from these groups have traditionally been hired, employed, and promoted at rates well below their availability in the labour market. All employers want to attract and retain the best talent available. The companies that get the best draw from the entire labour pool. The recruitment and selection process is a critical first step.
