Our dedication to continuously enhancing our practices, policies, and procedures reflects our ongoing
efforts to cultivate a work environment that is not only safe and comfortable but also fosters growth
and progress for all members of the Agency.
In December 2023 the Agency hosted our first recruitment fair in Winnipeg for our Community-Based
Treatment program, with 74 applicants in attendance. Following the success of the first recruitment fair,
we hosted another in January 2024 for our Intensive Home Supports Program and had over 250
applicants in attendance! As a result of these fairs, we have hired over 50 employees on permanent
contracts and have a waitlist of applicants to fill upcoming vacancies.
As our Intensive Home Supports and Community-Based Treatment departments continue to grow, the
Human Resources team takes pride in sustaining our Incentive Programs to bolster recruitment and
retention endeavors. Employees who refer individuals successfully hired on a full-time or part-time basis
are rewarded with a $100 bonus, while new full-time or part-time employees receive a $200 bonus after
completing six months of employment. The success witnessed from each program is remarkable, and
we extend a heartfelt thank you to all employees who have contributed through referrals!
TRAINING
The Training Department has achieved exceptional success this year, with a focus on enhancing
employee skills and fostering a culture of continuous learning. Participation rates in trainings have
increased with the successful implementation of our learning management system, SmarterU, leading
to a more skilled and adaptable workforce. By implementing the SmarterU platform we have bridged
the gap for a learning management system that is easily accessible throughout not just Winnipeg but
our surrounding regions and peers in Saskatchewan. Feedback from employees indicates high
satisfaction with the quality and relevance of learning plans. Additionally, completed learning plans
reflect the positive impact of our training initiatives. Looking ahead, the department aims to further
personalize learning experiences and expand our offerings to meet evolving organizational needs.
This year we held our first workshop for employees and external service providers. The workshop was
about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and was a resounding success! Attendees engaged in
dynamic sessions with our expert speaker, Dr. Rod Densmore, M.D., who provided valuable insights
while fostering collaboration and practical application of concepts. Widespread topics were covered,
including the latest research, diagnostic assessments, and ideas to empower individuals and families
affected by FASD. This workshop provided a great opportunity for service providers to learn, network,
and gain perspective into understanding how to best support community members living with FASD.
Workshops like these highlight the impact and value of continued learning and development in areas
that help us better serve the population we support, and we hope to deliver more workshops this year.
