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 Workers' Compensation Board of Manitoba was selected as one of Canada's Best Diversity Employers 2013:
  • established a diversity committee, comprised of management and union representatives who meet regularly to discuss non-discriminatory employment practices, reduce disparities amongst employee groups and develop recruitment strategies to attract applicants from all walks of life
  • the committee appointed a Diversity Specialist to oversee and manage the development of diversity initiatives as well as connect with the broader community
  • new employees are required to complete training on topics such as cultural and workforce diversity and employment equity -- the organization also offers workshops on a variety of topics including Aboriginal awareness, which focuses on Aboriginal history and culture, disability awareness training, offered in partnership with Reaching E-Quality Employment Services (REES), and LGBT awareness training for members of the diversity committee
  • participates in a variety of career fairs such as the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce Aboriginal Job Fair, Afro-Caribbean Recruitment Fair, Connecting with Immigrant Workforce, and Ability Axis Employment Expo, to name a few
"As an Aboriginal person who has worked in a variety of positions in both the private and public sectors, I have never been more impressed with an organization's effort to create a diverse environment than I have been with the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB). My successful employment with the WCB was facilitated in partnership with the Centre for Aboriginal Human Resource Development. From my first day on the job I was impressed by the professionalism of the office and that my colleagues, who represent the diverse population of our great country."
— Harvey R., Appointment Desk Clerk
