This is an American term, we don’t use it
You might be shocked to learn we also don’t require minorities label themselves as such on job applications
In Canada we have the Employment Equity Act and Accessible Canada Act but it’s mainly the Charter that lays these things out
In Canada its termed EDI https://www.canada.ca/en/research-coordinating-committee/priorities/equity-diversity-inclusion-research.html
We do see requirements for people to state whether they’re an Employment Equity group – or rather, options to positively identify as an employment equity group so that you can get passed that ‘check’ on the hiring process. The government of Canada will literally send you a note saying you’ve been kicked out of the application pool for ‘not’ identifying as such on their forms, for example. And the only group that isn’t an employment equity group, are cis white men. The checkboxes to identify as FN are also “optional”, but generally translate into more benefits/privileges in hiring and so on.
The Employment equity act is a derived document that changes the Charter’s general assertions in 15(1)(2) into specific groups which, the verbiage of which excludes only cis white men. The Charter says “no discrimination based on race/gender”, the EEA says “you can positively discriminate in favour of any group except cis white guys”.
No, I’m not surprised in the slightest by either of these, seeing as I’ve known about these things for decades, and seeing as I’ve received “You didn’t identify as an Equity Employment Group” rejection letters from the federal government in the past.
On job applications/Resume submissions?
Yes.
Never seen the field, only seen it on offers
