Official description
Description
The CCAS is an ambitious plan that requires coordinated staffing resources across multiple City departments to be successfully implemented. To support this, each participating department will need to conduct a resource and capacity review to ensure adequate staffing is in place to deliver on their assigned actions. This process will be facilitated by the Sustainability Team, with support from Human Resources and approval from senior leadership.
To date, two new positions have been approved for funding; however, a comprehensive review of staff capacity has not yet been undertaken. Many lead and supporting divisions have identified limited staff capacity as a key barrier to effective implementation of the strategy.
This action will initiate a coordinated review of staffing and resourcing needs across all departments involved in the CCAS. It will identify existing gaps, inform future budget planning, and ensure that teams are adequately equipped to deliver on their assigned climate actions.
