Feds launching web tool to track representation, pay disparity for women, minorities – Benefits Canada.com
February 6, 2024
The federal government has launched a new pay transparency website to better illustrate how women, visible minorities, people with disabilities and Indigenous Peoples are represented and paid at federally regulated private sector employers.
The new site, called Equi’Vision, provides a visualization that allows users to compare data on workforce representation rates and pay gaps experienced by individuals from all four groups. The data can be searched based on employers, sectors or locations.
Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan billed the new tool as a way to shine a light on where gaps in employment can be reduced and representation improved, adding the site “empowers employees to be able to look at companies and say, ‘How are they doing with equity? Is this a place I want to work?’”
