Strategy to boost diversity, inclusion in B.C.’s public sector lacking effectiveness: report
A strategy designed to ensure that the government’s workforce reflects B.C.’s population runs the risk of failing.
“Diversity and inclusion have real meaning and value to people,” Michael Pickup, B.C.’s auditor general said, when he presented his findings earlier this month at the provincial legislature.However, available B.C. statistics from 2020 show that may not be the case. Meanwhile, racialized people account for 30.3 per cent of the provincial population but are underrepresented at 20.5 per cent of government agency workers.
PSA launched the three-year-long strategy titled Where We All Belong in March 2021 to ensure the public service reflects the B.C. population and is inclusive.
