About Workforce Profiles
The Workforce Profiles Reports provide representation statistics for BC Public Service (BCPS) employees who are:
- Women
- Indigenous peoples
- Persons with disabilities
- Racialized
- 2SLGBTQ+ (introduced in 2024)
These demographic groupings are listed in the Employment Equity Act and/or in Where We All Belong, the BC Public Service’s equity, diversity, and inclusion strategy.
For more information on methodology, definitions and caveats, see the Workforce Profile Dashboard.
Connection with Work Environment Survey
The Work Environment Survey (WES) has included demographic questions required for employment equity reporting since 2009. WES is administered every other year, and the Workforce Profiles application is updated after each WES cycle.
