Human Resources
Human resources focuses on staffing adjustments and training required to create a more culturally competent workforce for the new system. Initially, to assist with transferred cases, employees from General Authority agencies were seconded (loaned) to the Aboriginal agencies.
As more Aboriginal people are trained, seconded employees will return to their home agency or be offered reasonable employment in other areas. Additionally, an education and training initiative are underway to provide for the development of a culturally competent workforce.
