Indigenous, Black city employees rate workplace experiences lower than colleagues – Vancouver Is Awesome
City of Vancouver survey also finds concerns of discrimination from disabled workers, non-binary, gender-fluid and trans
A City of Vancouver employee survey has found that Indigenous and Black workers — along with people with disabilities and those who identify as non-binary, gender-fluid and trans — rated their experiences in the workplace lower than the average respondent on virtually every question asked.
The voluntary, confidential electronic survey administered by BC Stats on behalf of the city in the spring of 2021 received 3,732 responses from employees, a 55 per cent response rate, according to a memo from city manager Paul Mochrie.
