Environmental Scan:
Mayor & Council Support/Leadership & Strategic Initiatives:
Providing services to our residents at current service levels in a fiscally responsible manner continues to present
challenges;
Township resident interests in the actions and decisions of council and staff continues to increase;
Residents are looking for greater access to information, staff and members of council with increased transparency and
faster turnaround;
The 2018 Election for all Municipalities in the Province of Ontario including the Township of Oro-Medonte is a major project
for many staff members;
Ensuring continuity of business operations in the event of an emergency or once council becomes restricted due to
legislative requirements as of nomination day;
Talent management & succession planning;
3 1-2018 Budget-CAO's Office Initial work in the development of a framework for Lean Systems implementation.
Customer Service:
The level of service activity at the Administration Building continues to grow significantly;
In addition to the increase in activity handled by the Customer Service Representative, many other departments continue to
experience increasing activity including building permit issuance, municipal law responses and FOI requests;
Until additional on-line options are made available to residents (licensing, parking passes, bill payments etc.), it is expected
that activity levels will continue to grow as our population continues to grow.
HR:
The health and safety of our staff has always been a priority for the Corporation. As of the 4th quarter (November 2017)
there have been no lost time incidents/accidents reported to WSIB and 6 incidents reported for cautionary medical attention
only. Incidents not only pose a serious concern for the safety and security of our staff, they also present a cost and liability
risk to the Corporation. The Township works diligently to ensure employees are trained on policies and procedures.
Incidents are reviewed regularly to ensure that refresher training is provided when required;
Oro-Medonte’s workforce along with most employers within the Province of Ontario, is aging, with a significant number of
employees eligible for retirement over the next 3 years. In the next two years, 12 of our full time workforce of 74 will be
eligible for retirement and a further 10 (potential retirement of 30% of the full-time workforce) will be eligible by the end of
the incoming Council’s mandate. Retirements present an opportunity to assess job descriptions and functions to ensure
we continue to “do the right” things. They are also labour intensive and costly to fill and train. These assessments and
recruitment activities will continue for 2018 and beyond.
Recruitment activities are projected to be 25-30 in 2018 to address attrition and reoccurring seasonal requirements, which
have a significant impact on corporate resources. In addition, there will be competition requirements for projected
retirements as noted above. There were 31 recruitment competitions in 2017. These staffing competitions included full
time, contract, seasonal staffing needs and Fire & Emergency Services Volunteer Officer(s) and new recruit searches.
The relationship between the employer and employee/union is one which can greatly impact customer service, productivity,
attrition rate and costs. Fortunately, the relationship between Township management and our CUPE team (Local 2380-04)
is strong and continues to strengthen, one grievance was settled at Arbitration in 2017. To ensure we continue to build that
relationship, we will be implementing our new performance management programs in the last quarter of 2017 and first
quarter of 2018 and continue to attend to issues as they arise through 2018.
