Diversity Management

Supporting respectful and inclusive schools and workplaces.

Diversity Management is acknowledging and valuing the similarities and differences of all employees and all students when planning programs, policies, procedures, and assigning resources.

What Diversity Management Does

• It develops, implements, and supports a comprehensive and strategic approach to diversity management (planning, programs, resources, communications, training and development, reporting, and monitoring) to achieve employment equity goals.

• It creates an environment of inclusion and respect through support for positive race relations, cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for human rights among employees.

• It creates an environment where individuals seeking employment, training or career advancement opportunities within the Halifax Regional School Board will not be disadvantaged or discouraged by attitudinal or systemic barriers.

• It ensures a process of affirmative action in all the Board’s practices dealing with employees and applicants for positions within the Halifax Regional School Board.
