HR Strategy Resources

During the 10 year DS HR Strategy (2008-2018) a number of documents and resources were developed to assist the person/ people who are responsible for the HR process in DS agencies across the province.

The DS HR Strategy took a multi-pronged approach to achieving its goals to:
Increase pool of qualified developmental services professionals
Ensure consistency in education, training and professional development in Ontario’s developmental services sector
Provide opportunity for a variety of career paths for developmental service professionals.
Enhance management expertise

To achieve these goals, subcommittees of the DS HR Strategy participated in research, including gathering information from the sector and reviewing literature. Their work has been compiled into reports and documents to be shared with Ontario’s DS Sector, particularly those working in a Human Resources Capacity.
