Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
Our EDI Statement:
At About Staffing Authenticity is in our DNA.
Equity is to be upheld, and we are all accountable.
We are inclusive. We listen and treat others with respect and sincerity – always with the intent to learn and grow.
And it is diversity that drives our outrageous creativity, tenacity, and joyful approach to persevering and succeeding in a highly competitive industry.
Our Priorities are:
- Becoming leaders in promoting EDI best practices to our clients (employers).
- Furthering diversity and inclusion in Canadian workplaces by equipping candidates through our sister company JOBSHIFT.
- Advocating for EDI initiatives within and outside of our four walls, including nurturing current partnerships with organizations and businesses that serve underrepresented groups in the workforce, as well as reaching out to new partners.
HR-Hiring, Recruitment, Retention
Diverse candidates are and will continue to be sourced through our partnerships and strategies.
We commit to monitoring the inclusivity of our job postings through the use of job descriptions that provide opportunities for a wider pool of qualified candidates. We currently use tools to evaluate our inclusivity. Based on the findings, we will often review and re-examine job descriptions, postings and profiles with the goal of reducing or eliminating implied biases.
We encourage staff to understand their own unconscious biases by participating in Harvard University’s Project implicit. https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/
We leverage our sister company Jobshift to help equip diverse candidates with the tools and confidence to advocate for themselves in both the job search process and the workplace.
As the Masters at Matching Culture®, our recruiters aim to understand the employers’ culture to align with the ideal candidates. We also encourage enhancing corporate culture through diversity and inclusion. This is proven to support retention in existing and new staff members.
Staff Training and Development
We will continue to discuss EDI skills training and leadership opportunities with staff and encourage them to bring ideas for continuing education forward.
