Purpose
The Human Resources Database (HRDB) is a decision-making asset consisting of a comprehensive and standardized database of key information on the faculty, support staff, excluded, and student employees of the post-secondary sector.
The HRDB is used to support collective bargaining, budget and resource analysis, government planning and policy decisions, employer financial and human resources strategic planning, and Statistics Canada reporting.
The HRDB has evolved to a comprehensive human resources planning and analysis tool for the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development and the post-secondary sector.
The HRDB reduces reporting requirements for the institutions and provides a useful research database for the following types of information:
- demographics
- employment type/status
- earnings/pay scale
- benefits
- program/course data
- FTE workload
Governance
The HRDB is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of representatives from the Ministry of Advanced Education & Labour Market Development (ALMD), Post Secondary Employers Association (PSEA), Federation of Post Secondary Educators (FPSE), BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU), Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Senior Financial Administrative Officers Committee (SFAO) and the Labour Relations Advisory Committee (LRAC).
