KEY OBJECTIVE 2004 PROGRESS PERFORMANCE INDICATOR COMMENT HRM CHANGE OBJECTIVE 6. To modernise the HR function so as to better meet the needs of the core Business Units and the staff of OPW HRM Strategy: • Work continued during 2004 on the creation of a new Human Resource Management Strategy, taking into account the new factors caused by the return of Heritage Services and the Decentralisation initiative. • Strategy draft. HRM Strategy: Progress on this project was inhibited in early 2004 due to the focus on Heritage Services integration and OPW Decentralisation. At year-end however, work had resumed on the project with a focus on final completion of the Strategy in 2005. Implementation issues will follow, taking the Decentralisation timetable into account. Process Manual for HR function: This work was substantially concluded during 2004. The remainder (approx. 10 - 15%) will be finished in early 2005. Process Manual for HR function: The HRM mapping project will support efficient transfer of personnel management functions in the context of both the Decentralisation project and the devolution of certain HRM functions to Line Management. • Process manual.

To address the issue of regulatory reform so as to ensure that the OPW retains the ability to act on Government policy in a changing environment Regulatory Reform issues: Commissioners’ powers issues were considered & legal advices obtained. No further action is contemplated currently. The broader regulatory reform issues are being examined by the Attorney General’s Office. • MAC decisions Regulatory Reform issues: In regard to one area where legislation may be critical to operation (i.e.: flood risk management), specific proposals for legislative reform may emerge (see Key Objective No. 9 below). Separately, Corporate Services will coordinate with the Attorney General’s Office in relation to input to their project to review the entire statute book. This process will possibly identify some possibilities for the repeal and/or consolidation of legislation on the Statute Book relevant to OPW. 10
