ratified, focus will turn to implementation of key changes. HEABC will also undertake a formal post-bargaining review, and report to the Board the extent to which approved bargaining objectives were achieved. This operational priority directly aligns with HEABC’s strategic direction of leading the negotiation and implementation of collective agreements and other agreements to maximize their strategic impact.
HEABC’s 2019-2024 Strategic Framework was introduced to our members in 2019 as a commitment to amplifying our impact by focusing on four strategic directions: lead, anticipate, leverage and convene.
LEAD
the negotiation and implementation of collective agreements and other agreements to maximize their strategic impact

HEABC applies the strategic directions to an annual refresh of our work plan priorities to ensure we are achieving the greatest possible impact on behalf of our members and stakeholders. The following Annual Areas of Focus span the final two years of our current five-year strategic framework.

COORDINATE LABOUR RELATIONS ISSUES & RISK MANAGEMENT RELATED TO PANDEMIC POLICY UNWINDING/TRANSITION Labour relations issues and risk management is a core function that HEABC carries out as part of its mandate. Over the past two years, public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have had significant labour relations implications that have required HEABC to place an unprecedented number of resources and degree of focus on this function. Labour relations issues and risk management will continue to require extraordinary focus as public policy decisions put into place during the pandemic go through an unwinding or transformation process.
