Appendix 2. Summary of Related Planning Processes

Human Resource Management Plan (Summary)

The Ministry is building on the corporate direction provided by the BC Public Service Agency by creating strategies that support the achievement of the following six goals:

  • Effective people;
  • Proactive and visionary leadership;
  • Performance focused workplace;
  • Learning and innovative organization;
  • Flexible and motivating environment; and
  • Progressive employer-employee relations.

In order for the Ministry to successfully deliver its service plans, the employees in place must have the collective capability to do five things:

  • Prepare policy responses for emerging public issues;
  • Mediate disputes between key stakeholders at municipal, provincial, territorial and federal levels;
  • Deliver Ministry programs and achieve defined outcomes through arms-length service providers;
  • Enhance third parties' capacity to achieve desired outcomes through their own efforts; and
  • Negotiate the access and use of fiscal, human and information resources to achieve Ministry goals.
