Planning Highlights

Time and effort from Registry staff will have to be focused in providing timely training to the members and to some extent to the parties when they begin using the new technology for electronic hearings. A smooth transition to this new process will ensure a strong and long lasting buy-in from all involved. Learning opportunities will continue to be provided to Registry staff to ensure they get very comfortable with providing support to the members and parties throughout electronic hearings. Also, providing employees with learning experiences at other organizations whenever operationally feasible will expand their knowledge and abilities and prepare them better to support the Tribunal.
