Workplace Innovation in Canada's Public Service by Aaron Good Pdf

In his most recent report, he stressed that the public service "must continue to take advantage of new technologies" and must "nurture a more performance-oriented, collaborative and innovative culture." He further emphasized the need to "get better at dealing with complexity [which] will require new approaches to creative and collaborative problem solving."1 Developing and adopting new and better [...] We sought their input on the importance of workplace innovation, their vision for the future, changes that they believe should occur in the public service, and barriers and challenges i to realizing those changes and benefits. [...] This paper aims to contribute to furthering the dialogue on workplace innovation and to help catalyze the necessary action to improve public service workplaces across the country. [...] Telework and greater use of virtual collaboration also have the potential to save employees time and money.8 Enabling employees to work from anywhere can lead to savings of up to $2,000 per year per employee9 from reduced transportation, meals, and other daily costs.

HRM Innovations in Canada by Gordon Betcherman,Norman Leckie,Anil Verma Pdf

From the Abstract: This paper examines the incidence and sustainability of two types of workplace innovation: employee participation programs and incentive pay systems. The analysis is based on the Working With Technology Survey ... The results show that the incidence of both employee participation programs and incentive pay systems rose, although not dramatically, between 1985 and 1991. Large establishments and those under foreign control were most likely to introduce these types of programs. The presence of a union was associated with a higher probability of reporting an employee participation program but a lower probability of reporting an incentive pay plan. There was also a high degree of association at the establishment level between the two types of organizational innovation examined and between each of them and technological innovation. An important issue cocerns the sustainability of workplace innovations such as employee participation and incentive-based pay systems ... The data suggest that these innovations have a substantial failure rate.

Employer of Choice? by Graham S. Lowe Pdf

The purpose of this report is to facilitate a broad and comprehensive approach to human resource renewal. The report argues that the human resource challenges ahead involve far more than recruitment and retention - they demand nothing less than new ways of doing government work and rewarding public sector workers for their contributions. How a government meets these workforce and workplace challenges will determine its success in providing citizens with the high quality services they need and want. An employer of choice is positioned to achieve two interconnected goals - a better quality of working life for the knowledge workers who will dominate public service work in the 21st century, and a more efficient and effective public service.

Innovative Work Practices and Labour Turnover in Canada [electronic Resource] by R. (René) Morissette,Statistics Canada,Rosa, Julio Miguel,Canada. Human Resources Development Canada Pdf

The study finds only moderate support for the notion that innovative work practices (such as teamwork, job rotation and profit-sharing) reduce employee turnover. It finds almost no evidence that such innovative work practices reduce employee turnover in the Manufacturing sector. However, it shows that establishments in the Services sector that employ a highly skilled workforce and use some innovative work practices, do retain a greater proportion of their employees than other sectors.
