SaskPower Corporation

 

SaskPower Corporation
Chosen as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers for 2009:
By Rachel Caballero and Richard Yerema, Mediacorp Canada Inc. staff editors  (Feb 20, 2009)

Some of the reasons why SaskPower Corporation was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2009:
  • recently launched a new diversity strategy, which includes the creation of affinity groups for Aboriginal employees, employees with disabilities, women, and visible minorities
  • tracks the progress of their diversity-related recruitment goals through regular reporting to senior management
  • hosts workshops on disability awareness and Aboriginal awareness
  • revised their training materials to include a diversity-in-the-workplace component for supervisors
  • advertises job openings in ethnic community publications, Aboriginal radio and television stations as well as multicultural radio stations

 Engaging Employee Affinity Groups

At SaskPower, employee affinity groups representing Aboriginal employees, employees with disabilities, women and visible minorities, have an active role in helping to develop the corporation's overall diversity recruitment strategy. Employee members regularly attend career fairs targeting designated groups, provide feedback on mentoring opportunities and advise on how to integrate diversity into training materials.

In 2007, SaskPower's diversity department organized an in-house diversity affinity group conference. Members of all four groups met and discussed how to eliminate barriers to employment, battle stereotypes, and create more career development opportunities for employees at the company.
