The HCPHES Executive Leadership team firstly reviewed the complete Employee Development life-cycle and identified 11 key focus areas to be addressed:

Using a unique concept of Business Process Reengineering, Project teams were chartered to move forward. The process involved a phased approach: Define the Vision & Goals; Identify the existing processes that need to be reengineered; Analyze and measure the existing processes; Redesign the alternate process & identify enabling systems; Evaluate and select a process redesign; Implement the reengineered process; And Continuous improvement of the process.
Detailed recommendations from the Project teams provided valuable information in terms of what matters to Public Health recruits and how to streamline the existing processes to ensure better productivity and throughput from the Public Health Workforce. HCPHES is currently working on implementing the reengineered processes / systems and the results would be presented.
