The Federal Public Service is stronger and most effective when we reflect the diversity of the Canadian population we serve. The CER is dedicated to building and promoting a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce, representative of all Canadians regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression, socio-economic background or lived experience.
Achieving a representative and diverse workforce has been identified as an organizational need for CER and may be applied at any time during this appointment process. If this criterion is used, only those who have indicated that they are members of the specified designated group(s) will be considered. As such, first consideration for an appointment may be given to candidates who self-declare as belonging to one of the four designated employment equity groups (Persons with a disability, Indigenous Peoples*, Members of a Visible Minority, or Women).
* Indigenous Peoples are people who are First Nation, Inuit or Métis.
The CER strives to be an employer of choice for Indigenous Peoples*. We are committed to implementing systemic changes within the organization, as well as supporting the individual Reconciliation journey of each person at the CER. We offer our Indigenous employees fifteen (15) hours of paid leave and twenty-two decimal five (22.5) hours of unpaid leave — that can also be made up hour for hour — per year to engage in traditional Indigenous practices. We provide access to Elders, one-on-one coaching, social and cultural events in the workplace, and opportunities to work and lead in a hybrid work model. Depending on the position, we also offer full-time telework options for Indigenous employees for whom living and working in or near their communities is critical to their identity, cultural security and the exercise of Treaty and inherent rights.
