Employee Diversity Data Information
Employee diversity data comes from employees who have completed TMU’s Diversity Self-ID questionnaires, which are part of the self-service functionality in the HR system. Although the university requires that employees complete the questionnaire, self-identification is voluntary as there is a “Prefer not to answer” option for every self-identification question.

Employee diversity data visualizations and downloads
Data visualizations are available on this site. They provide graphical illustrations of information and data, along with the ability to interact with the data. The most immediate application of interactivity with data visualizations is the ability for the users to drill deeper into datasets by hovering or clicking over portions of the illustration.
These visualizations provide further details about the recruitment, representation and retention of employees from six equity groups: women, racialized people, Indigenous Peoples, Black people, persons with disabilities and 2SLGBTQ+ people.
The data can be downloaded using links provided in each section. This is how the information is accessible to those using screen readers and other assistive technologies.
