Human Resources

Human resource management is based on the premise that the organization's workforce is vital to the accomplishment of the goals and objectives of the organization. With trends to higher service standards, increased usage of technology, more competition for skilled professionals and increasing/changing legislation, both employees and the employer are stretched to keep pace.

Currently in the Sun Country Health Region, the Human Resource Department (HR) coordinates the numerous managerial and organizational programs that assist in achieving both employees' and our Region's objectives of service, work and safe practices. The Department includes functions that ensure employees are qualified and able to fulfil responsibilities that often span 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. In addition, the Human Resources Department ensures that the administrative systems are implemented to recognize the contributions of staff while ensuring that organizational needs are monitored.

Our Region has approximately 2000 employees positioned in over 200 different jobs across 28 facilities. Over 95% of these staff are in the scope of a collective agreement. There are three (3) unions representing these employees.

Some of the key functions of the Human Resources Department are:

• Labour Relations
• Collective Agreement Administration
• Grievance Administration
• Human Resource Policies
• Human Resource Planning
• Recruitment/Staffing
• Immigration
• Orientation
• Training and Development
