Message from the President of the Treasury Board I am pleased to present the 27th annual report to Parliament on employment equity in the Public

Service of Canada.

Employment equity is an important building block in establishing a diverse and inclusive public

service. The Employment Equity Act requires the public service to meet representation goals for

the four designated employment equity groups.

In 2018–19, the public service was successful in achieving these goals for women, Indigenous

peoples, and members of a visible minority. But more is left to do to welcome into our midst

persons living with disabilities.

The under-representation in that area is in good part due to the widening of the range of

disabilities considered within the Canadian Survey on Disability, and the data has not yet

reflected that new definition. At the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, the Office of Public

Service Accessibility has been put in place to help the public service work toward an improved

representation and a more inclusive workplace for this group, to carry out our responsibilities as

an Employer under the Accessible Canada Act.

We also took steps to create safer, healthier and more inclusive and diverse workplaces for all

our employees by launching the Centre for Wellness, Inclusion and Diversity. The Centre offers

support and tools to employees and managers who want to improve their workplace by

exchanging new practices and ideas.

Overall, I am pleased with the progress made by the public service toward recruiting, developing

and retaining a diverse workforce. Looking ahead, departments will need to continue to focus

attention on Canada’s changing population, ensure the public service is representative of the

people it serves and, increasingly, strive to ensure all our employees feel valued. To this end,

managers will need to continue to recruit people who have a variety of experience, backgrounds

and skills, and equip and support them to succeed.

I invite you to read this report and discover for yourself how the government is making progress

in building an inclusive, accessible public service, where all employees can perform to their full

potential for the betterment of Canada.

Original signed by

The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos

President of the Treasury Board of Canada

Measuring employment equity in the public service

New workforce availability benchmarks for employment equity

reporting

With the release of data from the 2016 Census and the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability,i

workforce availability estimates (WFAs), which are used as benchmarks to measure employment

equity for the public service, have been updated.

While all the WFA estimates have increased, the one for persons with disability has more than

doubled. This is the result of new questions to screen for disabilities in the 2017 Canadian

Survey on Disability and 2016 Census to better reflect the number of persons with a variety of

disabilities available in the workforce.

Members of visible minorities 13.0% 15.3% 21.3% 16.7%

Note: To determine WFA, additional criteria are applied to the LMA population, for example, education levels, citizenship, and

National Occupational Classification code comparisons. While the resulting WFA is a subset of LMA, certain employment equity

groups may present with a greater percentage of the CPA available workforce as a result of the application of these criteria.

1. The term “Indigenous peoples” aligns with international usage and in this report replaces the legislative term “Aboriginal

peoples” that appears in the Employment Equity Act and the Employment Equity Regulations.

2. In the French version of the report, the term “Personnes en situation de handicap” aligns with international usage and in this

report replaces the legislative term “Personnes handicapées” that appears in the Employment Equity Act and the

Employment Equity Regulations. The definition has not changed.

Labour market availability and workforce availability

Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members in the Canadian

labour market. As mentioned, the federal public service uses WFA, a subset of LMA, as the

benchmark for assessing employment equity of the four designated groups. The Employment

Equity Act does not specify which one to use. WFA considers certain factors, such as citizenship,

location, working age (15 to 64) and education specific to the public service, to determine a more

precise estimate than LMA can provide of designated groups members available for hire in the

Page 7: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

federal public service. While the resulting WFA is a subset of LMA, certain employment equity

groups, for example, women, may present with a greater percentage of the core public

administration available workforce as a result of the application of these criteria.

Representation

The proportion of women and Indigenous peoples in the public service meets or exceeds both

their estimated WFA and LMA, but additional progress could be made in terms of members of

visible minorities reflecting their LMA. The representation of persons with disabilities is lower

than the new WFA or the LMA.

Data disaggregation

To provide a better understanding of the unique workplace issues and experiences of employees,

this year’s report provides new details on disaggregation of the four designated groups.

It should be noted that Indigenous employees and employees with disabilities had a greater

tendency to identify their subgroup as “other” rather than one of the specific subgroup categories.

As a result, the disaggregated analysis for these two designated groups is more limited.

New occupational groups for reporting

A new occupational group structure has replaced the former occupational categories in

Schedule III of the Employment Equity Regulationsii as a result of an update of the Regulations.

This new structure now has over 30 occupational groups instead of the six previous ones. Both

can be found in this report (see Tables 3.1 and 3.2 in Appendix A). Providing both groups in this

report allows for a more precise understanding of the distribution of the designated groups within

the core public administration.

The following infographics provide further details on the state of designated group representation

in the core public administration.

Toward a culture of diversity and inclusion in the public

service Employment equity is one of several closely related concepts that form the foundation of a

diverse and inclusive public service. Other themes such as respect in the workplace, value and

ethics, mental health, and wellness both support and are supported by employment equity.

In order to create the shifts in mindsets and culture required to achieve employment equity,

numerous initiatives have been undertaken, including government-wide strategies and plans,

specific activities for designated groups, and skills development for leaders. Highlights of these

initiatives are provided in the following.

Accessibility Strategy for the Public Service

In 2018–19, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s (TBS’s) Office of Public Service

Accessibility (OPSA) developed the Accessibility Strategy for the Public Service,xiii which was

launched in May 2019. The Strategy is a roadmap to help the Government of Canada lead by

example in:

removing barriers to accessibility and inclusion

increasing the number of persons with disabilities recruited into the public service

One of the key features of the Strategy is a commitment that the federal public service will hire

an additional 5,000 persons with disabilities by 2025.

To support the implementation of the Strategy, OPSA has established a tiered interdepartmental

governance model to oversee and coordinate planning and actions, and to report on progress and

results. The Centralized Enabling Workplace Fund further advances the federal public service’s

workplace accommodation practices.

Centre for Wellness, Inclusion and Diversity

Following the government announcement through Budget 2018, TBS established and launched

the Centre for Wellness, Inclusion and Diversityxiv (CWInD) in June 2019 to provide leaders at

all levels with tangible solutions to support the wellness, inclusion and diversity agenda.

CWInD has two main functions:

1. support wellness, inclusion and diversity commitments throughout the public service

2. identify innovative ways to create safer, healthier, and more inclusive and diverse workplaces

Page 14: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

10

CWInD provides single-window access to resources to departmental leaders on wellness,

inclusion, diversity, and the prevention of harassment and violence. It also uses a qualitative

research approach, referred to as the Smart Dive, to explore ways to bridge the gap between the

intent of the Policy on People Management in the public service and the way that people behave,

work and experience the workplace.

Centre of Expertise on Mental Health in the Workplace

Established in 2017, the Centre of Expertise on Mental Health in the Workplace,xv a collaboration

between departmental officials and bargaining agents, provides support, expertise, guidance and

leadership to address psychological health and safety in Canada’s federal public service.

As part of its mandate, the Centre supports federal organizations to deliver on the objectives of

the Federal Public Service Workplace Mental Health Strategyxvi and align with the National

Standard of Canada for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace.xvii In January 2019,

the Centre published the Steering Committee on Mental Health in the Public Service’s third

report, entitled Building Success: A Guide to Establishing and Maintaining a Psychological

Health and Safety Management System in the Federal Public Service.xviii

In addition, the Centre:

manages a best practices repository for managers, employees and organizations

convenes quarterly meetings of the Mental Health and Wellness Champions’ Committee

facilitates the Mental Health Office of Primary Interest Network

supports the Federal Speakers’ Bureau on Healthy Workplaces

Leadership development

The Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer of TBS (OCHRO-TBS) leads an Executive

Leadership Development Program (ELDP), which is a government-wide program to enrich

leadership competencies and build capacity in the executive community. The ELDP targets its

approach to address gaps in skills and diversity among the executive group. In 2018–19,

86 employees participated in the program. Of this group, more than 50% of the participants

represent at least one of the four employment equity designated groups.

In 2018–19, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada continued to support the

public service–wide Aboriginal Leadership Development Initiative (ALDI). ALDI works to

prepare Indigenous employees to assume greater leadership roles and positively impact decision-

making in their respective departments and across the federal public service.

Consultations between the Treasury Board and its employees’

representatives

TBS consults and collaborates with bargaining agents through the Joint Employment Equity

Committee, a national forum through which employment equity, wellness, diversity and

inclusion are discussed with employees’ representatives, departments, the Public Service

Commission of Canada (PSC) and TBS. During 2018–19, the committee discussed or held

consultations on:

the mandate and planned activities of CWInD, including the establishment of a senior

executive advisory committee to focus on diversity and inclusion

feedback on Treasury Board policies for managing people, including the new Directive on

Employment Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (April 1, 2020)

Recruitment approaches for employment equity

The government continues to pursue a strategic approach to recruitment that directly engages

certain designated groups, including through the Indigenous Student Employment Opportunity

and the Employment Opportunity for Students with Disabilities, both administered by PSC.

Through these programs, in 2018–19, the government hired 226 Indigenous students and

113 students with disabilities.

In April 2018, TBS and the PSC jointly challenged federal government organizations to hire

100 persons with intellectual disabilities in 2018–19. As a result, 95 persons with intellectual

disabilities have been hired to date, but only four were hired indeterminately. However, the

employment equity data do not reflect the increased integration of persons with intellectual

disabilities, since casual and part-time employees, as well as employees whose term is less than

three months, are not statistically considered. This experience provided valuable lessons and led to

the development of tools to hire, on-board and develop employees with intellectual disabilities.

Learning initiatives: Indigenous Learning Series

In 2018, the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) declared Indigenous learning as one of its

five distinct business lines. This business line incorporates the Indigenous Learning Series,

which was established in 2016 in response to Call to Action 57 of Truth and Reconciliation

Commission of Canada: Calls to Action.xix

The goals of the CSPS in establishing this distinct business line are to:

promote effective working relationships with diverse Indigenous populations and public

servants

support the development of federal policies and programs that meet the unique needs and

realities of Indigenous peoples across Canada

Page 16: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

12

The CSPS’s Indigenous learning business line provides the public service with access to

resources and learning that are designed to:

help public servants develop a deeper understanding of Indigenous cultures, history and

modern-day issues that they will incorporate in their day-to-day work

provide the knowledge, skills and competencies needed to contribute to the Government of

Canada’s reconciliation agenda

support executives to foster changes in behaviours and practices in the public service to be

inclusive of Indigenous employees and Indigenous perspectives

Learning initiatives: respectful and inclusive workplace

In late 2019, CSPS launched its respectful and inclusive workplace business line in support of

the Government of Canada’s ongoing commitment to providing an environment where

employees are treated with respect, dignity and fairness. The overarching expected result is to

create healthy and respectful workplaces across the public service.

The goal of this business line is to develop knowledge, skills and competencies in the

following areas:

harassment prevention

accessibility

occupational health and safety

unconscious bias

mental health

positive space for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans(gender), queer, two-spirit people and other

people of gender identities or expressions and sexual orientations (LGBTQ2+) individuals

gender-based analysis

Advances in these areas will help organizations and employees create and sustain a culture that

promotes and preserves psychological health, safety and well-being in all aspects of the

workplace through collaboration, inclusivity and respect. Developing such a culture will help the

public service become more agile, inclusive and equipped, in line with the Government of

Canada’s public service renewal efforts outlined in Beyond 2020.xx

Page 17: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

13

Harassment and violence prevention

A deputy minister task team on harassment reviewed the public service harassment prevention

policy framework and identified actions that will better support employees in the context of Bill

C-65, An Act to Amend the Canada Labour Code (Harassment and Violence), the Parliamentary

Employment and Staff Relations Act and the Budget Implementation Act, 2017, No. 1.xxi

The products of that review included a report entitled Safe Workspaces: Starting a Dialogue and

Taking Action on Harassment in the Public Service,xxii which included the following proposed

actions that the government continues to undertake:

prevent harassment from occurring

respond to situations in which harassment has occurred

support victims of harassment

Knowledge Circle for Indigenous Inclusion

In June 2019, the Knowledge Circle for Indigenous Inclusionxxiii (KCII) was established as a

result of the Many Voices One Mind: A Pathway to Reconciliationxxiv report recommendation.

The goal of KCII is to act as:

a culturally competent focal point for liaison

a safe space for conversations

a source of expertise for guidance, support and advice for Indigenous employees, managers

and executives in the public service

To support the transformation needed within the public service Indigenous inclusion, the KCII

will also conduct research and analysis to build an inventory of good practices in terms of

recruitment, retention, talent management, career mobility, training and development.

Employee networks Employee engagement is essential in shaping the future of equity, diversity and inclusion in the

Government of Canada. The government continues to support positive approaches and practices

led by employees. The following sections highlight the goals of three of these networks and

some of the activities they carried out this year.

The Indigenous Federal Employee Network

The Indigenous Federal Employee Network (IFEN) brings together public servants from across

Canada to ensure that Indigenous public servants have access to an interdepartmental community

that is healthy, inclusive and supportive, and that addresses the needs and aspirations of all

Indigenous employees.

Page 18: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

14

The IFEN aims to:

build a welcoming and collaborative interdepartmental community

contribute to an inclusive workplace, free of lateral violence and discrimination1

contribute to the personal and professional growth and retention of Indigenous public servants

at all levels

offer an advisory function and social support to Indigenous public servants

help Indigenous employees “walk in two worlds” by balancing their indigeneity with being a

public servant

The IFEN also endeavours to bring together individuals within the federal public service, both in

the National Headquarters and in the Regions, to provide a forum and carry out activities in the

following areas:

provide professional networking and information-sharing

support professional development and personal growth

explore career advancement, recruitment and retention practices

make recommendations to senior management in areas that affect First Nations, Inuit and

Métis employees

promote a fair, equitable and respectful work environment through cross-cultural

understanding by supporting learning and teaching activities and events related to First

Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples

The Indigenous Federal Executive Network

In April 2018, the Indigenous Executive Network (IEXN) was launched in response to a

recommendation in Many Voices One Mind: A Pathway to Reconciliationxxv to support, engage

and communicate with Indigenous employees and partners.

The IEXN meets quarterly, with additional special meetings convened on an as-needed basis. At

least one meeting a year is dedicated to a specific learning and development priority identified by

the IEXN community.

Federal Black Employee Caucus

The Federal Black Employee Caucus (FBEC) was established in January 2018 and supports

efforts nationally, regionally and locally to address issues faced by Black federal public servants.

1. Lateral violence and discrimination are displaced violence and discrimination toward one’s peers.

Page 19: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

15

The two main objectives of the FBEC are to:

1. collect disaggregated employment equity data to better understand the challenges faced by

Black federal public service employees within the federal public service

2. support the mental health of Black employees by focusing on government initiatives to

reduce harassment and discrimination in the workplace

Over the last year, the FBEC raised awareness on issues of concern among Black public servants

and, in January 2019, hosted a national symposium to engage Black federal public servants and

allies in examining the reality of Black employees in the federal public service. Topics of

discussion included data and representation, Black women and intersectionality, mental health,

and discrimination. The FBEC also contributed to the preparation of the Senior Leaders Learning

Session on anti-Black racism in February 2019.

The way forward: progress in adopting an inclusive

mindset

Approach to collecting data on gender-diverse employees

The term “gender equality” has a meaning that is broader than that of the traditional binary male

and female definitions. The federal public service is studying various aspects of gender, including

gender diversity, to support the conditions for greater equality in the core public administration.

TBS is participating in a government-wide approach to examine how federal programs and

services collect, use and display sex and gender information. The vision is to promote respect for

and inclusion of gender-diverse people living in Canada, including federal public servants. At the

same time, these efforts will support the collection of accurate disaggregated data on sex and

gender for program operations, policy and planning, analysis, and evidence-based

decision-making.

Amendments to people management policies

TBS is pleased to announce an update of the Treasury Board Policy on People Management and

Policy on the Management of Executives, as of April 1, 2020. These policy suites include the

modernized and broadened Directive on Employment Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and

Directive on the Duty to Accommodate. For example, the new Directive on the Duty to

Accommodate applies to all employees instead of persons with disabilities only. TBS is working

with core public administration organizations to support the implementation of these new policy

suites, with a view to focus on changing mindsets and behaviours across the enterprise and

maximizing the new flexibilities provided by these instruments in support of building an agile,

inclusive and equipped public service.

Page 20: Employment Equity in the Public Service of Canada · Labour market availability and workforce availability Labour market availability (LMA) is the share of designated group members

16

Approach to data collection

TBS is working to modernize self-identification processes and forms to better capture subgroup

data that would allow the public service to design tailored strategies and programs.

UN International Decade for People of African Descent

In 2018, the Government of Canada officially recognized the UN International Decade for

People of African Descent (UNDPAD) 2015–2024, which:

recognizes people of African descent as a distinct group whose human rights must be

promoted and protected

highlights the important contributions of people of African descent

provides a framework under the pillars of “recognition, justice, and development” that

encourages countries to address anti-Black racism and discrimination

TBS committed to collect subgroup data to better understand the challenges faced by Black

Canadians in the federal public service.

Final word

As we look to the next year, the government will continue to strengthen its efforts to advance

diversity and inclusion in recognizing the benefits of having a diverse talent pool that reflects the

composition of the Canadian population that it serves.

Overall, while three of the four employment equity designated groups exceeded WFA in

2018–19, a number of areas require our sustained attention, including for Indigenous peoples

and persons with disabilities.

Given these challenges, TBS encourages departments and agencies to:

ensure that employment equity considerations are built into their integrated human resources

and business planning

promote employee self-identification, especially at the subgroup levels

continue to identify and remove barriers for the four designated groups

undertake operational and strategic human resources employment equity planning

include diversity and inclusion in strategic recruitment plans

review learning, development, and education and awareness initiatives with a diversity and

inclusion lens

TBS and its partners at OPSA, PSC and CSPS, offer several internal tools and support to assist

departments in meeting their roles and responsibilities.

About this report The Employment Equity Act came into force in 1986 with the goal of achieving equality in the

workplace. It seeks to correct the conditions of disadvantage experienced by four designated

groups by giving effect to the principles that employment equity requires special measures and

the accommodation of differences. The four employment equity groups are:

women

Indigenous peoples

persons with disabilities

members of visible minorities

In 1996, Canada’s federal public service became subject to the Act and the Employment Equity

Regulations.

Each fiscal year, the President of the Treasury Board must table a report in Parliament on the

state of employment equity of the four designated groups within the core public administration,2

as well as similar reports produced by separate operating agencies with 100 or more employees.3

About the data The data in this report focuses on employees to whom the Regulations apply, namely:

indeterminate employees

employees on a term of three months or more

seasonal employees

These three categories comprise 92.3% of the overall population of the core public administration.

The data in this report on representation of employees in the four designated groups is based on a

mandatory self-identification form (paper or electronic) provided to all new employees.

Employees may voluntarily self-identify as belonging to more than one of the designated groups.

On average, 88.3% of core public service employees complete the self-identification questionnaire.

This high rate of self-identification allows for a high degree of confidence in the analysis.

2. The core public administration comprises the 67 departments and agencies listed in Schedule I and Schedule IV

of the Financial Administration Act.

3. Separate operating agencies comprise the federal organizations listed in Schedule V of the Financial

Administration Act. In 2018–19, 20 such agencies had 100 or more employees.
