Board members approved the hiring of a full time human resources advisor in 2021.
The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Board of Directors held meetings for February, discussing several items to report.
The next board meeting is March 31, 2021 at 1 p.m. on Zoom.
New Human Resources Advisor to be Hired
The Board approved the addition of a full-time human resources advisor to the RDKB staff this fiscal year. The RDKB has 175 employees in four distinct employee groups including two union contracts, and to date has had no dedicated position focused on the human resource function. Rather, the HR function has been spread across all departments. By adding this position to the Finance & Administration team, the organization will benefit from a more effective, efficient and focused approach to employee relations, labour relations, training, recruiting, hiring, and additional workplace health and safety. Recruitment is expected to begin in spring 2021.
