and how it differs from a performance review. Ms. Aarons provided an over of the
proposed process and provided the proposed framework.
The Committee provided the following feedback to staff and Ms. Aarons:
• It is important to understand the culture and needs of the organization and
taxpayers;
• There is a need for problem solvers, people who instigate change and the need to
reward accordingly; and,
• Focusing on internal staff for succession planning and readying staff to move up
rather than going outside is favored.
Staff and Ms. Aarons responded to questions from the Committee. Staff informed the
Committee of the next steps in the project which will include a talent assessment of key
and single contributors, identifying management staff to join the program, and the
creation mentor program. Staff advised that the program will all be aligned with plan
for succession and that the Human Resources Strategic Plan would be coming forward
in the near future.
