Â鶹´«Ã½

Over the last several months, you received information about an employment systems review (ESR) process at the university being conducted by the (CCDI). This review is an in-depth assessment of Â鶹´«Ã½’s employment systems, policies and practices and their implementation. The ESR is an important aspect of the university’s commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

The final component of the ESR is a series of focus groups. CCDI will conduct 90-minute anonymous and confidential focus group sessions with eight employee groups. The remaining session includes:

• Persons with disabilities - faculty, researchers and staff (inclusive of racialized minorities, women, Indigenous, LGBTQ2S+).
  Thursday, March 31 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

On March 8, CCDI (activity@ccdiconsulting.ca) sent you an email inviting you to participate in the virtual focus groups. Participation is completely voluntary; however, we ask that you take a few minutes out of your day to engage. The focus groups will provide a deeper understanding of barriers and perceptions of issues employees face, with an emphasis on understanding the experiences of diverse employees.
