This is a big change. We've gone from a system of, at various times, trying to get managers more involved, but we really now are in a fully devolved system of staffing in which we expect the managers to take the responsibility for taking on the decisions about the kinds of people they need and hiring those people into their organization. This is the objective of the legislation, and it is the objective of the Clerk of the Privy Council, who is heading the renewal initiative. We are only one full year into this. It is a major change. My major preoccupation, frankly, is that we won't stick with it, and that we don't start some other kinds of initiatives and lose sight of making sure that we get the infrastructure in place to see this thing through.
One thing I've observed, which shows how important it is to stick with doing some of this infrastructure work, is that we've started the planning, so this is very good. But now we need to turn those plans to actually drive strategies. That is the next important step. But remember now, that's after the first full year.
We have serious problems with the HR community's capacity to support managers in the way required. We have to do a lot more work to get the data and the tools there to measure progress so we know exactly where we are, and so that managers have the tools they need to be able to do their work.
