Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The PeopleSoft development module will support the Department of Human Resources e-performance module that we’ll launch in 2013-14 through on-line learning plans for employees. It will also support the training programs and initiatives for all GNWT departments. The e-development module will replace existing manual processes with employee self-service on-line applications, managers’ self-service approvals, provide auto enrolment, wait listing, auto notifications, and information for reporting what is not currently available.
As well, it will replace the Public Works and Services-based training calendar with our PeopleSoft functionality. In particular, the PeopleSoft e-development module maintained training programs, learning plans, courses, and course catalogues in PeopleSoft where these courses can be easily viewed on-line and related to attached jobs, employee’s positions as well as individual competencies. It will allow course enrolment on-line with a capacity to check for prerequisites, wait lists for courses already filled, handle cancellations, provide workflow and notification as well as track completions for individuals.
It also attracts certifications and compliance requirements across the GNWT, and it links training and administration directly to the current PeopleSoft HR payroll system in e-performance and will allow for future integration of the Talent Management Strategy. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
