Equity, diversity and inclusion in hiring

Equitable hiring and promotion practices are not new. However, in recent years, criticism and misconceptions about EDI (equity, diversity and inclusion) initiatives have increased. BC’s O ce of the Human Rights Commissioner (BCOHRC) developed this question and answer (Q and A) resource to provide information about EDI hiring practices. The purpose of this resource is to address common misconceptions. It builds on BCOHRC’s employment equity toolkit, which was created to support employers wanting to learn how to improve equity within their businesses and organizations.
