Revised staffing policies and guide effective October 1, 2020
The Human Resources Services Branch (HRSB) recently completed a review of ESDC's policies and guides on staffing to ensure they meet the evolving needs of our staffing program. The revised staffing guide and policies are now available to Human Resources Advisors and managers across the department, and have been in effect since October 1, 2020:
Important to note, the Guidance on Staffing replaced all previous guidance documents and there were no substantive modifications made to the policies. We encourage you to discuss staffing related questions with your Human Resources Advisor. If you have questions on this initiative, please send an email to the HRSB's Workforce Strategies Division.
