Skill Broadening. Skill broadening is the development and use of employees to perform work outside their traditional roles. Skill broadening is achieved by providing employees with the training and opportunities to perform additional work safely. The intent of skill broadening is to enrich job content and increase job efficiency by:
a) Removing the traditional boundaries in working roles
b) Developing employee capabilities to perform work beyond their traditional roles. Skill broadening can be achieved by taking advantage of existing and future technology and by the development of employees who are highly trained with multiple capabilities and responsibilities. Skill broadening will include training and instruction of other employees. It will also include new responsibilities required to maximize the commercial performance of the company while ensuring compliance with company policies and sound health and safety and environmental practices.

Skill Broadening can be achieved by taking advantage of existing and future technology and by development of employees who are highly trained with multiple capabilities and responsibilities. Skill Broadening will include training and instruction of other employees. It also will include new responsibilities required to maximize the commercial performance of the Company while ensuring compliance with market rules and sound health and safety and environmental practices. Skill broadening and the compensation structure through the consolidation of occupation codes into new job groupings will not eliminate the distinctions between them. For example, Mechanical Maintainers will not become Control Technicians. However, there may be an overlap of duties between job groupings. The intent of skill broadening is not to fully qualify an employee in all other jobs but rather to maximize the capabilities of employees. Employees who participate in skill broadening can be required to work outside their job grouping with employees in other job groupings to jointly complete work assignments. All work assignments are dependent on employees having appropriate skill, knowledge and training. Employees working independently will be expected, once trained, to perform basic skills of other job groupings at the same or lower band. There may be limited circumstances where employees receive specific training in another job grouping to fully complete a specialized task. In addition to the responsibilities listed in their Job Documents, the work of employees will be expected to include additional tasks. This is further described in the Article 8 Intent Document which forms part of this agreement.
