2016 Objectives
Administration, Corporate Services, Human Resources & Finance
Staff Suggestion and Cost Saving Program
A cost savings suggestion program will be implemented in the first
half of 2016. This will provide the opportunity for staff to provide
their input on how to save the District money. Whether it is for
projects, workplace savings or for the community as a whole we will
provide an opportunity for staff to have their input.
Succession Plan
With key employees beginning to retire and potential turnover risks,
the District of Lake Country is beginning to design a program for
succession planning. It will summarize key areas of information
including:
- Strategic Leadership – identifying who can be and is interested in
leadership roles
- Technical Expertise – identifying skills and creating knowledge
retention tools
- Difficult to Recruit – identifying positions that are challenging to
fill when vacant and providing action plans of cross training,
knowledge sharing and recruitment action plans
- Knowledge Transfer – identifying persons that have been in a
position for many years and duties are not well documented.
Customer Comment Card
The District will be looking at improving our system for public or
customer feedback by providing a better on line feedback system
along with in person comment boxes at the Municipal Hall, Winfield
Arena and our Bylaw/Fire Admin Office.
Measure
Smoking Regulation Bylaw
Council approved a motion for staff to draft a bylaw to regulate
smoking in parks, trails and other restrictions including buildings,
schools and best practices in consultation with Interior Health. The
HR and Safety Team will be delivering this Bylaw to Council in 2016.
Intranet Improvements
The District of Lake Country is planning to review alternative Intranet
options in 2016 to increase collaboration with staff, improve
communication and provide better tools to communicate and a
better ability to view and get to know each employee.
Internal Values System
The District of Lake Country is conducting an internal values system
review in 2016 which will guide us during organizational growth and
development; and will provide framework with how we treat each
other, customers and other members of the public and to create a
work environment that provides job satisfaction which is also exciting
and challenging.
