As the corporate human resources services section resides within the Department of Executive, the department was asked for, and agreed to supply, government-wide statistics at the departmental level for the Affirmative Action Policy. The committee also raised concerns regarding possible adverse effects of the Staff Retention Policy on the Affirmative Action Policy. Other areas of discussion included the need for consistency as to what qualifies as a managerial position, the loss of employees to private industry, and the inability of PeopleSoft to track casual employees.
