What it does
The Research, Planning and Renewal program leads research and experimentation of innovative practices across the public service to manage people effectively in preparation for the future of work. It is responsible for the collection, consolidation and reporting on data analytics for administrative and performance data and surveys related to people management.
The program aligns its analysis on people management with the strategic outcomes and government-wide objectives of maintaining an agile, equipped and inclusive public service. RPR supports foresight capacity and establishes key partnerships to further research within and outside government on the key people management issues.
The program contributes to evidence-based decision-making by leading the development of an enterprise-wide strategy for managing data on human resources. The program also enables government-wide leadership on strategic planning for workforce management to build capability for the future of work and excellence in managing people.
The program provides a central service to Office of the Chief Human Resources Officer sectors in order to strengthen people management planning, strategy and governance.
