Why is the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer launching a public service–wide initiative?
In collaboration with the Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer (OCHRO), departments have created an integrated online talent management system called the Executive Talent Management System. This system was developed to further support deputy heads in managing their executive community. OCHRO provides direction, guidance and support for the collective management of assistant deputy ministers (ADMs). The Executive Talent Management System is a vehicle that will help better support the management of the both the ADM community and the overall executive community across the public service. Collecting and analyzing data on the public service executive community provides deputy heads with additional strategic information on their executives such as demographics trends, talent gaps and the succession landscape. The desired goal of this process is to maximize the potential of executives to ensure they are ready and capable of handling the current and future needs of the public service. T
