What it does

PCO supports government-wide initiatives to enhance productivity and find better ways of doing business in order to advance Blueprint 2020 vision of a world-class Public Service equipped to serve Canada and Canadians now and into the future. In this context, the Public Service Renewal program advises and supports the Clerk of the Privy Council to advance efforts to equip the Public Service with modern tools, processes and organizational structures; improve mental health and workplace well-being; attract and retain top talent and be a diverse and inclusive workforce. PCO also supports deputy minister-level committees related to Public Service Renewal, chaired by the Clerk of the Privy Council, as well as committees of external advisors. The Senior Personnel program advises and supports the Prime Minister and the Clerk of the Privy Council in building a strong, professional and competent Public Service by establishing policies and services that: facilitate the recruitment and retention of senior personnel; plan for future Public Service leadership needs; and, ensure the leadership development of senior public servants. Further, this program supports the Clerk, the Prime Minister, ministers and Cabinet in the appointment of Governor in Council appointees. This program also provides support to the Prime Minister as Secretary to the Independent Advisory Board on Senate Appointments.
