The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We desire a workplace that reflects the diversity of our province and provides us a competitive advantage in acquiring, engaging, and growing diverse and inclusive talent, building programs and services to meet the changing needs of citizens, and building and sustaining a culture that successfully positions the government for the future and becoming the best Public Service in Canada.

- Inclusive workplaces is about creating an environment where employees of every demographic feel safe, supported, welcomed and able to succeed.
