When the Business Partnering Model was first presented, the role of a broker within the Director, Human Resources’ team had been developed whose responsibility was routing all requests to the appropriate service centre, tracking all requests to ensure service standards were met, and providing information to managers and the team on the status of individual service transactions. After long discussions, the broker role was replaced by a Business Line Team(BLT). This team is part of the Organization and Resourcing Services. On a matrix basis, a team will be set up for each client Branch/SOA. Headed by a Senior Consultant, reporting to the Resourcing Manager, the team represents a mix of skills and resources to meet client needs as defined by a service agreement negotiatied by the Director, Human Resources. The Senior Consultant, BLT and his/her team will work in partnership with the Director, HR team and will provide constant feed back on results and issues impacting service delivery to the client. Members of the BLT team are at all levels of the organization from support to officer. The make up of the Business Line Team is reviewed annually based on client business plans and service agreements. The Business Line Team is the client's single point of access for staffing, organization design and classification request. It is also responsible for providing these services in the most strategic and cost-efficient way for the client. The Director, HR team will keep the BLT abreast of any client issue, general direction and priority that might impact on service delivery. 2, record 4, English, - Business%20Line%20Team

Confirmé par Services de l'organisation et du ressourcement, Direction générale des ressources humaines, TPSGC [Travaux publics et Services gouvernementaux]. Lorsque le modèle de partenariat d'affaires a été présenté, on a défini le rôle d'un aiguilleur au sein de l'équipe du directeur des Ressources humaines qui devait acheminer toutes les demandes au centre de services approprié, faire le suivi des demandes afin de s'assurer que les services rendus étaient conformes aux normes, et informer les gestionnaires et l'équipe sur l'état d'avancement de chaque opération. Après en avoir discuté longuement, on a remplacé le rôle d'aiguilleur par le concept d'ESA [Équipe de secteur d'activité]. Cette équipe fait partie des Services de l'organisation et du ressourcement. Une équipe sera formée pour chaque direction générale ou OSS client sur une base matricielle. Dirigée par un conseiller principal relevant du gestionnaire, Ressourcement, l'équipe représente un agencement de compétences et de ressources visant à répondre aux besoins des clients, tels qu'ils sont établis dans l'entente de service négociée par le directeur des Ressources humaines. Le conseiller principal de l'ESA et son équipe travailleront en partenariat avec l'équipe du directeur des Ressources humaines et lui fournira continuellement de l'information sur les résultats et sur tout problème touchant la prestation des services au client. Les membres de l'ESA sont de tous les niveaux de l'organisation, de l'employé de soutien à l'agent. La constitution de l'ESA est revue chaque année en fonction des plans d'activités des clients et des ententes de service. L'ESA est le seul point de contact des clients pour les demandes de dotation, de design organisationnel et de classification. Elle est également chargée d'offrir ces services de la façon la plus stratégique et efficiente possible. Le directeur des Ressources humaines tiendra le conseiller principal de l'ESA au courant de tout problèm. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%89quipe%20de%20secteur%20d%27activit%C3%A9
