Qualification Standards

Pursuant to Section 31(1) of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA), Treasury Board, as employer, is responsible for establishing qualification standards in relation to education, knowledge, experience, occupational certification, language or other qualifications that the employer considers necessary or desirable having regard to the nature of the work to be performed and the present and future needs of the public service. 

Accordingly, the Treasury Board has approved the adoption of the Public Service Commission Selection Standards and Language Standards as the employer’s Qualification Standards. The Public Service Human Resources Management Agency of Canada (PSHRMAC) will develop and maintain these standards on behalf of the employer.

Staffing Toolkit for Managers

Communicators, managers and HR professionals will all find the new Government of Canada Staffing Toolkit for Managers a useful reference. The toolkit was designed by managers and HR professionals from many different departments and agencies within the Government of Canada, for use by federal public servants across the country.

The toolkit is an easy-to-use, general reference guide which shows at a glance what new tools are available and how they can be used for full effect.

For more information on integrated human resources and business planning, a good resource is the PSHRMAC Integrated Human Resources and Business Planning Checklist and Tool Kit.
