Common use of JOINT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT Clause in Contracts

JOINT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. Workforce development is one of the highest priorities of Xxxxxx Permanente and the Coalition. The success of the organization and the Partner unions is attributed to the work, skill and education of Xxxxxx Permanente employees. In order to adapt to the rapidly changing health care environment, there is a need to invest even more fully in partnerships, people and new technologies, while continuing to provide the highest quality of care and service to health plan members. The Coalition and management agree that a comprehensive workforce development program will be jointly developed and implemented. The goal is to create a culture that values and invests in lifelong learning and enhanced career opportunities. Once the local union has been notified of the need for redeployment or position elimination, Workforce Planning and Development will be engaged. The joint efforts will also result in the development of infrastructure and tools to realize the full intent of the Employment and Income Security Agreement. By achieving these goals, employee retention and satisfaction will be increased, hard-to- fill vacancies filled, quality and service improved and the Labor Management Partnership strengthened. Significant investments are being made in workforce development programs and activities. In order to be successful, these programs and activities require organizational alignment, integration, coordination and efficient use of resources. The parties will assess the effectiveness of these activities and determine how to improve the overall program, including determining the appropriate yearly level of resources and investments. The four key components to this work are Workforce Planning, Career Development, Education and Training and Retention and Recruitment.
