Employment equity compliance is a legal requirement. It is also a business necessity for LEEP and FCP companies that wish to continue business with the government of Canada. If your company is found in non compliance, it forfeits its right to bid on large government contracts. It is put on a List of Ineligible Contractors and is allowed to bid only on contracts valued $25,000 or less.

Although presented as a human resources management issue, employment equity compliance can have significant bottom line impact.

To be competitive, companies can no longer afford to choose its talent from a pool limited by sex, race or ableism.  A strategically positioned and well designed employment equity program will attract and retain scarce talent in an increasingly competitive marketplace. With the assistance of an experienced consultant, the traditional tools of employment equity- the workforce analysis, the employment systems review and the employment equity plan- become powerful diagnostic tools that lead to business solutions.
