Committee Motion 35-15(5): CR 5-15(5): Mandatory Orientation And Training/Ongoing Professional Development, Carried

Thank you, Madam Chair. I move that this committee recommends that mandatory orientation and training be implemented for all new Workers’ Compensation Board employees before they are allowed to engage clients. The committee further recommends ongoing professional development be programmed for each employee, manager, executive and member of the Governance Council and Appeals Tribunal and documented and reported annually as a key component of performance measurement. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Villeneuve. The motion is in order. To the motion. Question is being called. All those in favour of the motion? All those opposed? The motion is carried.
