Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Vacancies Filled by Internal Applicants In 2024-25, a new measure will be introduced to evaluate the number of vacancies filled by existing in-scope and out-of-scope employees. This is a benchmark of mobility and career opportunity inside the organization. Hiring internally helps improve employee retention and engagement, as internal candidates feel valued and motivated by the opportunity to grow and advance within the company. Hiring internally also reduces time and costs given existing employees’ knowledge and experience, including their familiarity with people and processes. Representative Workforce SaskEnergy’s goal is to continue to foster an inclusive work environment rooted in the belief that, through varying perspectives, better decisions are made and better outcomes are achieved. The communities that SaskEnergy serves include people from diverse backgrounds, and the Corporation aspires to obtain a workforce reflective of that same diversity. This includes Indigenous peoples, who represent a large portion of Saskatchewan’s current and future labour force. Women in Management Roles was reported as 38.5 per cent in 2023-24, lower than the 2022-23 results of 38.9 per cent and the 2023-24 target of 41.0 per cent. The below-target results are an area of focus in developing a diverse and inclusive workforce.
The percentage of Indigenous employees decreased slightly in 2023-24 to 12.8 per cent, as compared to 13.3 per cent in 2022-23 and the 2023-24 target of 14.5 per cent. The Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission’s recommended target is 14 per cent provincially, but SaskEnergy also recognizes that this demographic is trending higher in the province. SaskEnergy aims to provide opportunities to qualified people, and is committed to the attraction, retention and engagement of its employees. Diversity and inclusion will continue to be a priority as the recruiters and hiring managers, with support from all levels of the organization, remain committed to increasing diversity and inclusiveness in the workforce. The members of UNIFOR Local 649 ratified a new three-year Collective Bargaining Agreement, retroactively effective February 1, 2023, and expiring January 31, 2026.
