Diversity & Equity: Diversity and Equity

Diversity & Equity

Diversity challenges assumptions, opens minds and unlocks our potential
We recognize, respect and value individual differences

POLICY STATEMENT:

The Government of Prince Edward Island is committed to providing a positive workplace which recognizes, respects, and accommodates diversity of all individuals. This policy will foster the development of a public service that is representative of the diverse population it serves.

We believe that an appreciation and awareness of our diverse workforce can help the civil service to identify and capitalize on opportunities to improve programs and services; attract, retain, motivate, and utilize our human resources effectively; and reap the many benefits from being a socially conscious and progressive civil service.

Since the early 1990's, a number of initiatives have taken place to advance the development of employment equity and workplace diversity in the civil service of Prince Edward Island. As a direct result, a newly developed Diversity and Equity Policy is being supported and implemented within our organization.
