PPSC Management Initiatives for 2008-09
While delivering on the program priorities presented in Section II, another priority of the PPSC will be to focus on the following management initiatives during 2008-09:
Completion of the organizational design: The PPSC continue with from transition of being part of the Department of Justice Canada to an independent, accountable organization. Work in this area will include reviewing the lines of authority in each region, ensuring it has positions that reflect the mandate of the organization, and determining the optimal delivery approach regarding the provision of corporate services to the organization.
Recruitment and retention: As described earlier, the PPSC faces recruitment and retention challenges due to factors such as increases in salaries for prosecutors and lawyers in some regions of Canada. In 2008-09, it will implement a national recruitment strategy, increase its use of legal agents where appropriate, and develop a competency profile to support both the recruitment and career management of its workforce.
Security: The PPSC has established a Security Committee to examine the issues pertaining to the security of its prosecutors and other employees and to identify the measures required to address them. It will continue to work closely with police forces as well as with the FPT Heads of Prosecutions Committee to share information on security threats, issues and mitigation strategies.
Development of an organizational performance measurement framework: Progress has been made in identifying results-based performance indicators for the PPSC, which will be used to report to Parliament on the progress made in achieving its Strategic Outcome and expected results. During 2008-09, the PPSC will begin developing a strategy and framework to help manage and report on its operational performance. This will involve benchmarking the measurement approaches taken by prosecution services in other jurisdictions, such as the Crown Prosecution Service of the United Kingdom. The PPSC will also assess the capabilities of its internal systems to supply the required data to support the indicators. Service standards will also be developed beginning in 2008-09.Contacts
