Issues relating to diversity and inclusion such as recruitment and retention, employer reputation, employer branding and meeting employer legal and human rights requirements are gaining more attention from employees, managers and business owners in Canada. Diversity encompasses all of the ways in which individual people differ, while inclusion is creating a culture that embraces, respects, accepts, and values diversity. Employers have a significant influence on society and can play an important role in making our communities better places to live.  Fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace can improve the employee experience and drive the success of your company as a whole, but commitment to it starts with the leaders at your organization.  

This module includes an overview of the Human Resources Management function and how Human Resources (HR) systems, methods, processes and procedures are typically organized and implemented by owners, manager, supervisors, and contractors. Your own HR strategy, as well as your HR processes and procedures will depend on the size and format of your workforce, as well as the goals of your organization.
