PSMAC Subcommittee on People Resourcing


I. Background

In March 2010, the People Resourcing Subcommittee of the Public Service Management Advisory Committee (PSMAC) was established to focus on what steps could be taken within the existing system of HR management to:

  • Improve the capacity of the public service to efficiently and effectively place the right people in the right jobs at the right time; and
  • Enhance departments' ability to work collectively to meet common people resourcing needs.

The work of the Subcommittee represents just one of a number of initiatives underway that are contributing to improving people resourcing in the public service. In addition to individual departmental efforts, the following are some of the other initiatives taking place:

  • Public Service Modernization Act legislative review;
  • The Public Service Renewal Action Plan;
  • The Administrative Services Review;
  • Review of the occupational group structure;
  • Redesign of post-secondary recruitment;
  • The Public Service Staffing Modernization Project;
  • Extreme Hiring Makeover; and
  • The Common Human Resources Business Process.
