Chosen as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2013:
By Kristina Leung and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors   (Feb 18, 2013)

Some of the reasons why Information Services Corporation / ISC was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2013:
  • maintains a five-year diversity strategy with quarterly and annual diversity and inclusiveness goals -- the strategy is reviewed monthly by a senior human resources diversity consultant
  • appointed a diversity consultant for a year-long term to manage and facilitate diversity initiatives -- the role has since become permanent based on the success of the programs
  • manages a diversity and equity working group, which acts as a consultative body to help determine diversity goals and initiatives -- the group recently sponsored "Breaking the Silence", a conference held in Saskatoon on sexual orientation and gender identity, which ISC employees also attended
  • created an Aboriginal Strategy Action Plan and requires new employees to complete training on Aboriginal cultural awareness
  • recently sponsored a networking event hosted by the Regina Aboriginal Professionals Association (RAPA) -- employees also participated at the event by mentoring post-secondary Aboriginal students to help them expand their professional network
  • also participates in targeted career fairs hosted by the First Nations University and Stepping Stones Regina
  • forwards job vacancies to a variety of community organizations including the Neil Squire Society, Partners in Employment and the South Saskatchewan Independent Living Centre (SSILC), which works with persons with disabilities, to ensure positions reach a diverse group of applicants
"Being involved in ISC's Diversity and Equity working group (DEWG) has changed me from the inside out. It has influenced me to embrace my identity and bring my 'whole-self' into everything I do, this is a strength that ISC truly values. I am very thankful to ISC's commitment to diversity. ISC's DEWG and diversity initiatives have ignited my passion to do everything I can to help our youth, from all walks of life, to be successful in building a stronger Saskatchewan."
— Colina P., Change Management Coordinator
