Statistics Canada manages a special subcommittee to oversee visible minority employment projects and address issues relating to visible minority employees. The subcommittee advises senior management on initiatives related to the recruitment, retention, and career development of visible minorities at the agency.
The subcommittee also functions as a support group for employees, regularly gathering feedback from visible minority employees on issues of concern to them. The subcommittee also promotes cross-cultural awareness in the workplace, and develops procedures to ensure managers implement and achieve employment equity goals related to visible minority staff.
