2004/05 – 2006/07 SERVICE PLAN
Attorney General and Minister Responsible
for Treaty Negotiations
Appendix 3. Summary of Related Planning Processes
Human Resource Management Plan
The 2004/05 – 2006/07 Ministry Human Resource Management
Plan (HRMP) highlights how the Ministry of Attorney General will
continue to work towards developing excellence within the Public
Service. It reflects the ministry's ongoing view that people are
our most valued asset. In addition, it forms an important linkage
with the government's commitment to accountability.
The ministry HRMP has been developed within the framework provided
by government's Corporate Human Resource Plan (CHRP) and continues
the ministry's commitment to the six goals of Public Service Renewal 7:
| • Effective People Strategy |
• Learning and Innovative Organization |
| • Proactive and Visionary Leadership |
• Flexible and Motivating Work Environment |
| • Performance Focused Workplace |
• Progressive Employer-Employee Relations |
The 2004/05 – 2006/07 HRMP builds on the initiatives
commenced under last year's plan. A number of key ministry-wide
initiatives have been developed over the past year to support each
of the six renewal goals. These include:
| • Supporting the management of change |
• Performance development |
| • Succession planning |
• Employee safety in the workplace |
| • Management development |
|
These initiatives will continue to be moved forward, strengthened
and developed as the ministry advances towards its people management
objectives. In addition to continuing to build on these successes,
the ministry will focus on developing new initiatives in 2004/05
such as:
- Strategic Human Resources Planning — Each branch
is unique in its business needs. To best align these needs with
the management of its people, each branch is encouraged to develop
their own human resource strategies to fit their distinct business
circumstances.
- Leadership — Effective, quality leadership is the
ultimate enabler of Public Service Renewal; therefore the ministry
will continue to work towards developing leadership at all levels
of the organization. This includes the continued participation
in various leadership initiatives being sponsored by the Deputy
Attorney General.
- Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) — The safety
and well-being of our staff is critical to the ministry, therefore
the current OSH program will be both strengthened and expanded
as part of our overall human resource strategy.
- Employee Professional Development Program — The
ministry will continue to focus on developing employee performance
and development plans that encourage individual and organizational
learning as well as development and performance, and align individual
performance with the goals and objectives of the ministry. The
ministry is committed to have all employees complete such plans
(EPDPs) in consultation with their supervisors by the end of the
fiscal 2004/05 year.
Information Resource Management Plan
Strategic Direction
The ministry will continue to plan and implement strategic technology
solutions to improve the value of information and services to citizens
and business. This will be achieved by the following strategies:
- Financial accountability and service plan alignment through
branch executive approval and sponsorship for all capital projects;
- Continued application of formal project management methodologies
on all projects to minimize risk, ensure value, and achieve more
project successes;
- Electronic service delivery to citizens and business, where
feasible, through shared government information technology services
or alternate service delivery programs, allowing the ministry
to focus on its core business;
- Continued focus on sound security policy and procedures for
ensuring the protection of justice information and promoting good
privacy practices for information sharing with business partners
and government;
- Use of executive and enterprise reporting tools to measure program
performance against the service plan and provide improved data
for planning;
- Incorporation of document management and workflow technologies
into applications to better manage information and records; and
- A focus on data-sharing and system-integration opportunities
across aligned ministries, and across government, the broader
B.C. public sector, and inter-jurisdictional justice partners.
These strategies will enable the ministry to deliver on its service
plan and focus on its core business while continuing to deliver
valuable services to the citizens and businesses of British Columbia.
