EMPLOYMENT EQUITY STATEMENT

CTS (o/a YES TV) believes that the principles of equity and diversity in the workplace are fundamental to a healthy and thriving culture.

These principles involve hiring the best-qualified candidate while ensuring a fair and equitable hiring process.  

YES TV shall hire and make employment and promotion decisions based on qualifications and merit while endeavouring to increase the participation from the four groups designated for employment equity, namely women, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, and aboriginal persons under the Employment Equity Act.

Our commitment is to equal opportunity and equitable representation in employment for all current and potential employees and that there are no discriminatory barriers in the selection, development, training, promotion, and retention of employees.

We will also work to ensure that our internal policies, practices and systems are free of barriers, emphasize the value of diversity and promote full participation to provide dignity, respect and equal access for all employees.

It is important that our Teams are representative of the makeup of the Canadian workforce for the benefit of our organization and to represent the communities we serve. To assist us in that endeavour, and in accordance with the Employee Equity Act, we offer all employees the opportunity to provide YES TV, on a voluntary basis, with an employment equity self-declaration.

Consistent with human rights legislation, employment equity recognizes the value and dignity of each individual and ensures everyone has genuine, open and unhindered access to employment opportunities, free from any barriers, systemic or otherwise. YES TV’s established employment equity statement reflects this.

YES TV is committed to equity in its policies, practices, and programs, supports diversity in its programming and work environments, and ensures that applications for members of underrepresented groups are seriously considered under its employment equity policy.
