SUBJECT:TITLE Human Resources - 2026 First Period Report
Body
The following is a report on the activities pertaining to the Human Resources from January 1, 2026 to April 30, 2026.
I. DIVISION ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACTIVITIES
1. Labour Relations
• Successfully completed collective bargaining with the Township’s largest Union, CUPE 374, with a newly ratified Collective Agreement in place for a 3-year term (January 1, 2025 - December 31, 2027).
• As the Township is no longer a member of the Greater Victoria Labour Relations Association, an updated process was presented to Council for the completion and signatories of the ratified collective agreement.
• Preparations for IAFF bargaining, which will commence in June 2026, have started.
2. Occupational Health and Safety
• A review of the Joint Occupational Health and Safety Committees, including an enhanced inspection schedule, review of terms of reference and audit to ensure legislative compliance was completed.
• A reduction of 44% in WorkSafe claims from the same reporting period year over year.
• A reduction of 52% in workdays lost due to WorkSafe injury from the same reporting period year over year.
3. Staffing
• The Township had a total of 21 staffing competitions this period, with a completion rate of 86% for filling these positions.
The completion percentage is an important metric to track the quality of the recruitment and staffing process, trends in the Township attracting talent, and current market analysis of the overall job market. The vast majority of positions unfilled were Auxiliary roles.
