Senior Personnel and Special Projects
The Senior Personnel and Special Projects Secretariat provides advice and support to the Prime Minister and the Clerk of the Privy Council in building a strong and competent public service.
Much of this work focuses on human resource management policies and services relating to Governor-in-Council appointees, primarily deputy ministers, chief executive officers of Crown corporations and heads of agencies. The secretariat also works with other central agencies to ensure excellence in public service management and service delivery.
Key roles include:
-
Establishing and administering policies and services that promote high-quality, Governor- in-Council appointments and facilitate the recruitment and retention of senior personnel;
-
Planning future public service leadership needs and ensuring the development of senior public servants (deputy ministers, heads of agencies,
etc.)
-
Advancing the Government’s public service management agenda and supporting the Clerk in his or her role as head of the Public Service.
