Quality of the Education Experience: A Workplace
Perspective
Corporate change initiatives are no longer isolated projects
that occur in orderly sequence. ICBC, a Crown Corporation is in a period of
continuous change and this change will continue into the foreseeable future. To
effectively support current and ongoing business drivers we have invested in
the architecture of new software and the replacement of old hardware. Transfer
of knowledge to our staff is a major component of the agreement with the
contractor hired for the project, but we are not in position to project the
impact of the new technology on the staff, and staffing levels. 67% of the
employees of the Corporation are women. |
