| WD should consider risk-ranking human resource gaps as a means of setting priorities given limited resources and to maximize results. | The WD Corporate Risk Profile (CRP) for 2009/10 will be used as the basis to assess the department’s risk. Executive Committee will use the CRP to make resource allocations when determining budgets at the beginning of the fiscal year and as required to make mid-year adjustments. Regions and Corporate Branches will also use the CRP in assessing their human resource requirements. |

| WD should formalize and standardize the performance reporting process on human resource plans in order that the results can inform subsequent plans or drive mid-year course corrections where warranted. |
In 2008, WD initiated a performance report for Executive Committee that provides a high level assessment of progress and risk associated with the various targets set against the PAA, Departmental priorities, the RPP, the MAF, and the Corporate Business and HR plan. The report is provided at mid-year, third quarter, and year end. This initiative will provide regular reporting on HR priorities and will allow for mid-year corrections. |
