Human Resources – Supporting strong teams and healthy workplaces.

The Human Resources Shared Service provides expert HR support to our partner municipalities — helping to recruit great people, build strong organizational cultures, and ensure compliance with employment legislation and best practices. Our goal is to foster respectful, inclusive, and productive workplaces that allow municipal staff to thrive. 

What We Do

We deliver practical, professional HR services that align with each municipality’s needs while providing consistency across the region. Our services include: 

  • Recruitment & Selection: Coordinating the recruitment, selection and onboarding processes across departments and municipalities — helping teams find the right people, faster. 
  • Policy Development & Interpretation: Drafting, reviewing, and recommending HR policies and procedures that support fair, equitable, and legally compliant workplaces. 
  • Employee Relations : Providing advice and guidance to managers and staff on performance management, conflict resolution, and day-to-day HR matters.

  • Training & Development: Coordinating staff development, compliance training, and workplace learning initiatives.

Whether it’s supporting a new hire, advising on policy, or helping address a workplace issue, our shared HR service is here to support people and performance. 

Why a Shared HR Service?

Human Resources work has grown increasingly complex — and small municipalities often face challenges maintaining internal HR capacity. Our shared service model: 

  • Brings professional HR expertise to each partner.
  • Supports consistency in people practices across the region. 
  • Reduces administrative burden on managers and senior staff.
  • Builds a networked municipal workforce that shares values and vision.
  • Helps partners stay up to date with legislation and HR trends.
