Diversity and Equity
It is the policy of Non Public Funds (NPF) to ensure the equitable representation and participation in the workforce of the four designated groups in accordance with the Employment Equity Act (EEA).
The designated groups are:
-
Women
-
Aboriginal Peoples
-
Persons with Disabilities
-
Members of Visible Minorities
The purpose of Employment Equity is to "achieve equality in the workplace so that no person shall be denied employment opportunities or benefits for reasons unrelated to ability and, in the fulfillment of that goal, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment experienced by women, aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities by giving effect to the principle that employment equity means more than treating persons in the same way but also requires special measures and the accommodation of differences." (1996 Employment Equity Act)
