The City has recently hired a Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion coordinator who will help us improve even more the diversity of all city activities, programs, and hiring. The city is working to recruit more broadly. Obviously, the labour shortage has brought this on but also I think we have a renewed commitment to building a workforce that does reflect the wonderful diversity in Kamloops. City HR staff currently anonymize the early stages of the hiring process to mitigate unconscious bias. I am not aware of any specific employment equity policies. I do know the city does not have preferential hiring policy that seeks to correct historic diversity imbalances in the workforce. Instead, the city tries to ensure diversity by recruiting widely and offering easy access to job application opportunities.
