Last month Canada's federal government announced the launch of a new employment equity data visualization tool called Equi'Vision. Equi'Vision displays data on workforce representation rates and the pay gaps experienced by the four designated groups under the Employment Equity Act (Act): women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities. The Act came into force on August 31, 2021.

The federal government states that the data provided by Equi'Vision is "user friendly and easily comparable." Users of the tool may view multiple data types (e.g., mean and median hourly wage gaps), data for each employer (making the data of different employers comparable), and aggregated data for different sectors and locations within Canada.

Unsubstantiated Findings In Workplace Investigations: What To Do When You Can’t Decide

When workplace investigators face difficult decisions, many default to marking allegations as "unsubstantiated" to avoid risk. However, this seemingly safe approach carries significant organizational costs, undermines complainant trust, and often stems from insufficient training in credibility assessment and the balance of probabilities standard.
