		PSEC Goals		PSEC Objective		Performance Measure
A strong and vibrant provincial economy.		Professional management of public sector labour relations.		1. Effective management of public sector labour relations and human resource strategies.		Compensation cost changes over 2002/03 compensation base. Days lost due to labour disruption in the BC Public Sector.

Compensation costs comprise a significant portion of the provincial budget. Accordingly, effective management of the province's fiscal plan requires the establishment of appropriate and sustainable compensation levels. Labour market analysis and frameworks are also critical for attracting and retaining highly skilled workers critical to the delivery of many public services.

Key strategies include maintenance of an executive compensation and bargaining mandate framework that incorporates fiscal goals, policy, program decisions, and labour market considerations. A long-term strategy for effective management of labour relations that addresses shortages of critical skilled occupations in the public sector is also underway.

Performance Measures:

Compensation cost changes: Compensation related costs in the public sector are a significant component of the provincial budget. As a result, marginal changes in compensation costs have significant fiscal impacts requiring accurate and timely monitoring.

Days lost due to labour disruption in the BC Public Sector: The severity of labour disruptions from strikes or lockouts is a measure of the stability of the public sector labour relations climate.
