Human Resources committee Again, from what the informal discussion group of practitioners have said, they definitely see an influx in inquiries and questions any time any training has happened. A lot of best practices are to do a follow-up with anybody who has participated in training and remind them of c

Human Resources committee I would just add as well that certainly there are very special skill sets. It is a much more sensitive investigation than others. One thing we are trying to do to help organizations when they feel they need an outside investigator to come in is to renew our national master standi

Human Resources committee I have just a quick one to say that the unions have been a great partner in our awareness pieces, such as the joint learning program that we deliver with both management and union facilitators. They have a harassment-free workplace one, as well as some great ones on mental health

Human Resources committee If I could add, it did include drop-down follow-ups to clarify what that meant. There was a definition provided to help people understand what that meant, and then they were asked the question.

Human Resources committee Again, when we define it, if it's not there and that's why people come forward with complaints.... They might see that the work-life balance is not being respected or that someone is talking to them with a certain tone. Everybody is welcome to bring these pieces forward, but in o

Human Resources committee As you raise, that is really a picture of a moment in time, so there can be extraneous things influencing it. That's why we're looking forward to seeing the results of our most recent survey and seeing if we can have a trend, or if it is just another key situation to react to.

Human Resources committee Definitely, that is a key trend now. The workplace is not just a physical one anymore. More and more people are working remotely. We do much more collaborating online, so we've definitely had to work at building into our awareness training the realization that with your social me

Human Resources committee As Mr. Graham mentioned, we don't presently collect the data on this from a central agency perspective. Each department has its own policies and pieces in place, so it's hard to capture the full perspective of how many investigations may be under way. It is important to note as

Kathleen Clarkin
Human Resources committee We wouldn't have it for you today—our corporate side of things. We have more the central policy function here. However, we could certainly look at it. Treasury Board, like all other organizations, reports regularly through the management accountability framework. We try to balanc

Kathleen Clarkin
Human Resources committee I'm happy to say that we do not.... We don't not measure everything. The public service employee survey is, as we mentioned, a great indicator to see what's going on in departments. Through that exercise, each department will have an individual data analysis done for them, and th
