Indigenous Human Resources

Indigenous Human Resources (Indigenous HR) is a unique component within Prairie Mountain Health Human Resources. Even though we provide support to all peoples regardless of their cultural heritage our primary objective is to increase the number of Indigenous people applying for, and obtaining employment with Prairie Mountain Health at all levels and within all areas of our organization.

Indigenous Human Resources provides services specially tailored to recruit and retain Indigenous employees so that in time we will have a workforce that representatively reflects the percentage of Indigenous people residing in our region.

It is important to note however, that we are neither an Employment Equity nor an Affirmative Action program.

Currently, Prairie Mountain Health Indigenous Human Resources Offices are located in Brandon, Dauphin and Swan River, Manitoba. We believe that our look and locations promote a stronger grassroots, community based service to all people, especially those who self-identify as Indigenous.

We work to develop stronger partnerships with Prairie Mountain Health employees, Indigenous leaders, community members, educational institutions, training facilities, unions, Elders, youth and professionals in an effort to encourage discussion and direction to better meet the needs of Indigenous people within the Prairie Mountain Health territory.
