Representative Workforce (RW) – People Strategies Portfolio, was established in 1995 with the signing of a Representative Workforce Partnership Agreement between the Saskatoon Health Region and First Nations and Métis Relations, Province of Saskatchewan (FNMR).
Since then, the three unions representing the Region, Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN), and Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan (HSAS) have each made similar commitments in each of their Collective Agreements supporting a representative workforce.
Representative Workforce identifies their top priorities as:
- Cultural Competency
- Recruitment
- Retention
- Education and Learning
"To build a workforce that is representative of the community we serve, in order to provide quality client-centred experiences to patients, clients, residents and families within Saskatoon Health Region."
