each year with awards for long service, customer
service, creative solutions, workplace environment
and community service.

of municipal, professional and not-for-profit
associations.

programs against NQI public sector criteria

ROP’s Alumni Group - It’s official! The Region of Peel has launched its first Alumni Group.
To give you all some background, this Group was established in response to interest expressed by a number of former employees. The purpose of the Group is to provide a forum for former employees to stay connected with the Region. While doing so, alumni members will receive information on regional news and events. They will also receive information on how they can participate in activities and volunteer opportunities such as the mentoring program and the United Way campaign.
On November 26, 2007, the first dinner meeting of the Alumni Group took place. All were welcomed by Laura Nashman, Commissioner of Employee & Business Services, Kent Gillespie, Commissioner of Corporate Services and Mike Goldrup, Director of Human Resources.
An Executive Alumni Committee was established that evening. The members are Larry Hawes, Chair and Bruce Ritchie, Secretary/Treasurer. This executive group will likely grow larger as the Alumni Group gets underway in 2008.
Additional information regarding the Alumni Group can be found at the following website www.peelregion.ca/alumni.
Benchmarking/Measurement Initiatives
- Peel is a leader in external benchmarking
and internal unit cost tracking. This is critical
to the Corporation's analysis of competitive
opportunities for service delivery. Regional
Council endorses program benchmarking as an
important "continuous improvement"
management tool that helps in identifying and
adopting management "best practices"
that in turn leads to lower program costs and/or
improved service quality.
Innovative Partnerships - Regional
departments work in partnership with other governments,
outside agencies and surrounding municipalities
to develop creative and cost-effective solutions
for enhanced service and program delivery.
