Overview

EDI principles and EDI initiatives require careful planning, continuous reflection, and strategic advice. As a leader in the advisory work underlying EDI, we are at the forefront of the increasingly important dialogues around EDI initiatives. Join our four-part EDI webinar series running throughout the month of October to learn more about how to navigate the EDI journey within your organization.

When implementing EDI programs, employers need to consider a range of privacy, employment, and human rights issues.

Join us as we answer the following questions:

  • Why do employers collect EDI data?
  • What information are you allowed to gather and what legislation applies?
  • How can you collect EDI data?
    • Do you need consent?
    • Should you make information anonymous?
  • What steps must an employer take to ensure that personal information is properly protected?
  • How can an employer use the information it has collected?
  • What challenges should employer's prepare for?

The other sessions in Fasken's EDI series can be found at the bottom of this page.
