Tools - Managers and Persons responsible for official languages



Official Languages Management Dashboard

The Official Languages Management Dashboard (OLMD) is a Web-based tool that gives users a real-time snapshot of the official languages program within their institution (only those part of the Core Public Administration) via a series of quantitative and qualitative indicators users who can:

  • assess their institution’s performance;
  • assess their institution’s progress over time; and,
  • easily identify trends.

By centralizing various sources of information, the dashboard puts key information at the user’s fingertips and streamlines activities such as: the annual review process, monitoring activities; and, identifying issues and taking action to resolve them.


Linguistic Needs Designator Tool

The purpose of this tool is to help managers determine the minimum number of employees required to provide services in the official language chosen by their office’s clients.


Burolis

Directory of Offices and Facilities

Burolis lists the offices and facilities of federal institutions and privatized organizations subject to the provisions of the Official Languages Act and Official Languages (Communications with and Services to the Public) Regulations. This directory indicates where the service point is located and stipulates whether or not there is an obligation to communicate with the public in both official languages in accordance with the relevant provision of the Act or Regulations.

Transactions

The Burolis Transactions function enables institutions subject to the Official Languages Act and Regulations to regularly update the list of their offices that provide service to the public. Institutions are responsible for updating the data on their offices and service points in the Burolis directory.


Position and Classification Information System (PCIS)

The Position and Classification Information System (PCIS) is designed to collect the information of institutions in the Core Public Administration on various subjects, including official languages. Statistics for the Annual Report on Official Languages are taken from the PCIS at the end of March of each year. Departments must send in their PCIS file each month.


Official Languages Information System II (OLIS II)

The purpose of the Official Languages Information System II (OLIS II) is to meet the information needs of Treasury Board (mandate conferred on the Agency) regarding the status of the Official Languages Program in institutions subject to the Act but not part of the Core Public Administration (i.e. for whom the Treasury Board does not represent the employer).
